Livorno Daily Photo: Scoglio della Regina

Sunday, September 20, 2015

Last July: the buildings of the former sea resort “Scoglio della Regina” undergoing a long process of restauration.

Almost the same view in a postcard of the first years of the last century.

(Postcard digitized from the collection of Antonio Cantelli)
