The original building, in Piazza Cavallotti, where the composer Pietro Mascagni was born in 1863. This photo, of unknown author, was probably shot in the early 1960s. Above the entrance is visible the plaque commemorating the birthplace of the author of “Cavalleria Rusticana”.
Today the old building is gone, but the plaque is still there...

Nice before and after.
An instance, for a change, of things looking better in the newer photo.
I like to see the differences, old and new, very nice post!

What a difference! The old photo is full life, the new photo is very clean.
Wow! What a change. The new building is very nice and it's great that the plaque is there to continue to mark the important place.
Do you know what I stopped at....
The little car.
Fiat Bambino.
HUGE changes with the building.
Glad they kept the plaque.
It's good to preserve the plaque, even if it is hard to believe that Mascagni lived in such a modern block:)
