The recently restored “cantine” under the “Scali Novi Lena”. This street runs on the eastern side of the “Darsena Nuova” (New Harbor), where the ships built at the Orlando Shipyard were once launched. A short canal passing under the swing bridge links this stretch of water with the “Porto Mediceo”. here is, during the rowing season, the finishing line of the Coppa Risi'atori.
If you look at this old postcard from the early 1900s, the only substantial difference is the building of the Nautical Technical Institute Alfredo Cappellini, now standing just in the middle of the first picture.See also: Coppa Risi'atori - Swing Bridge - Open Bridge

It looks being ready for spring to come. Wonderful mean to measure time the postcard. Please have a good Sunday.
It is not really so different, just a few more buildings. :)
ah...the more things change the more they stay the same!
I love the way it looked then and now.
These are great VP. Wonderful!
Great images to show your text too.
Both very nice.
You know I like to look for and to see boats....
Do you have your own boat?
The apartments with a view to the marina must feel nice!
God bless you!

Lovely scene that still resembles how it was in the past! That postcard is fantastic!
Really enjoy then and now photographs! It looks like a great place for a morning or evening stroll.
Nice walk back in the 1900s as it is now!
Yes, isn't it wonderful that it almost looks like the 1900s postcard?!
Even the sky is the same:)
I just love your old and new comparison images!
Your photo of the "new" scene is excellent. I like seeing your new and old comparisons. Yes, this is very similar today to the scene from a century earlier.
Fascinating VP. How lucky are we to be able to see these comparisons today. I love it so much when things basically stay the same, maybe with just a few improvements.
So surreal to see the similarity. Happy birthday, my friend! :)
