    Don’t you believe any collection of Italian postcards should have one of Maggiore Lake?  And this is a good one, mailed in 2011 with five stamps (three are faintly postmarked) and blue bilingual airmail sticker affixed.  Grade: 1

    Code: 20527052

    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

    Rapallo, Night of feast
  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

    Price: $2.00

    Milano – Piazza Duomo
  • 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

    Milano – Il Duomo
  • 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

    Pisa – Il pulpito nell’inferno del Battistero – Nicola Pisano
