Code: 20527052
Price: $7.00

Rapallo, Night of feast
The printed caption only says “Night of Feast” but the card’s writer explains that this takes place on 1-3 July in honour of Rapallo’s Patron Saint. Mailed in 2011 with two uncancelled stamps costing E1.6 — thereby almost covering the cost of the card. Grade: 3

Code: 20527059
Price: $3.00
Venice, multiple views
If you look at this unused 4-5/8″ x 6-3/8″ card in real life, all these silver glitter sections around the edge and in the middle change color according to the position of the card. The scan makes the card look freaky, when actually it is quite dynamic. Grade: 1

Code: 20527060
Price: $4.00

Isola
We don’t know which isola (island) this is, because the caption is covered by seven stamps–old and new, Vatican and Italy–of which only two have been cancelled by the full and clear postmark. Two different address labels are also affixed. Grade: 4

Code: 20527077
Price: $2.00
ATM trasporta Milano da 75 anni
Coming to us just after a visit to San Francisco, where we had the chance to see that city’s transport museum and also the variety of trams on the street (including these), we appreciate this Italian card even more, but we need to explain the reverse. It has four stamps and two large and full special postmarks: Brescia Centro, Mille Miglia “La Corsa Piu” Bella del Mondo (at least we assume these are special), and there’s also orange postal bar coding. Minor postmark ink transfer on the front. All in all, we give this Grade: 2

Code: 20527078
Price: $8.00
Pompei, Il Foro
Unused Brunner & C. card 8355, mottled with age on both sides, and all the more atmospheric because of that. Grade: 3

Code: 20527079
Price: $2.00
Assisi, Santuario o Eremo delle Carceri sul Monte Subasio
Unused card with a quotation from a 1922 Italian guidebook on the front–so that helps to date the card. Mottled and modestly stained with age. Grade: 3

Code: 20527080
Price: $1.00
Assisi, Il Convento di S. Francisco
Unused real photo card, aged. Grade: 3

Code: 20527081
Price: $2.00
Capri, Grotta Azzurra
And if the Grotta isn’t Azzurra enough by itself, the card certainly makes it look that way. Unused, Ed. Dominico Trampetti 1160, very heavily mottled with age, particularly on the reverse. Grade: 3

Code: 20527082
Price: $3.00
Firenze Antica – Deduta della Piazza S. Maria Novella

Code: 20527083
Price: $3.00
Firenze Antica – Deduta del Ponte della S.S. Trinita
We have a short series of similar unused cards from Old Florence, by Casa Editrice Gino Giusti. Highly aged, but clean, this is a view of the Bridge of the Holy Trinity. Grade: 2

Code: 20527084
Price: $3.00
Firenze Antica – Deduta della Porta Romana
We have a short series of similar unused cards from Old Florence, by Casa Editrice Gino Giusti. Highly aged, this is a view of the Roman Gate. Grade: 3

Milano – Piazza Duomo
Unused, heavily aged sepia card. An attribution is there on the reverse, but it’s too small for us to see. Grade: 3

Code: 20527087
Price: $2.00
Milano – Duomo – Porta principale
Unused, aged, sepia card with one perforated edge indicating that it had been part of a set. The attribution on the back is to “Fabrica del Duomo,” which should be the same as the attribution we couldn’t read on the previous card. Grade: 2

Code: 20527088
Price: $2.00
Milano – Il Duomo
Unused, aged, sepia card with one perforated edge indicating that it had been part of a set. The attribution on the back is to “Fabrica del Duomo,” #002. Grade: 2

Code: 20527089
Price: $2.00
Pisa – Il pulpito nell’inferno del Battistero – Nicola Pisano
This sounds better in Italian than it does in English. The B&W card was not postally used, but has part of a (probably) longer message fully occupying the reverse–in English, and dated March 1910. Grade: 4

Code: 20527090
Price: $2.00
Siena – Ritratto del Sodoma
We put this into Google to see what we could learn, but that really didn’t help much at all, and we are as intrigued as ever. Unused, B&W “Edit. Ditta Stefano Venturini” card 529, from Siena. Grade: 1

Code: 20527091
Price: $3.00
