The (still closed) entrance of the “Fortezza Nuova” (New Fortress), November 2012
The same entrance in a 1903 postcard. The words at the bottom translate as:
“Thank you granny dear and many kisses! Your little granddaughters...”
“Thank you granny dear and many kisses! Your little granddaughters...”
(Postcard digitized from the collection of Antonio Cantelli)

Your photo attempting to duplicate a historic post card is great. What fun seeing the similarities and differences from the past. Thanks for this post.
ReplyDeleteI really like your occasional posts of current scenes and old postcards. This area hasn't changed too much in the past century-plus-a-decade.
ReplyDeleteExcellent comparison.
ReplyDeleteThe little girls never dreamed their postcard to Nonnina would someday appear on your blog for all to see and enjoy.
ReplyDeleteYou should make a book just like Mr. Leversen on my Fridays posting. Grab the idea! Happy Sunday
ReplyDeleteJust great, VP, not many changes indeed, except for that not century old palm tree. :-)
ReplyDeleteTerrific. I love before and after shots.
ReplyDeleteHow interesting that there are people standing very close to the same spots all those years apart. :) Fun!
