Genoa again
Two cards for Ludovico!
A card bought when on holiday August 1993. It was never posted. There is no explanation on the back about any of the pictures.

Many many thanks! The first is a Columbus postcard. It celebrates the city where the explorer was born (yes, Genoa, as generally assumed). From left to right: the harbour, his monument, one of his caravels, a portrait by Ghirlandaio now in the Museum of the sea and navigation of Genoa and last his (supposed) house. Due to the cars, I think the postcard is earlier than 1993 (I think it's about 1970).
ReplyDeleteFor the second one, take a look at this second one (beginning of 1900, I think):

Thanks again!
Thank you Ludovico for all the information about Columbus. That's really great. And as for the second, well it's amazing! It has hardly changed.
