Today we go to Sicily, to Catania.
A beautiful leafy postcard from the late 1950s with palm trees, flowers and families in suits.
On the back we have the location of the photo, abstruse postal services not better specified and La Rinascente.

Palme is no more, non ci sono più da molto tempo ormai.
Quella in cartolina è Piazza Roma, a Catania

Alle spalle si vede l’istituto De Felice, palazzo storico adibito a istituto tecnico commerciale
🥲 da catanese emigrato picchia tanto questa cartolina
15 anni fa piazza roma era luogo di ritrovo per amanti dei cani, una sorta di grande area dedicata ai quadrupedi non recintata. Del resto non esistevano aree cani in città all’epoca
È anche luogo storico di cortei studenteschi
è Piazza Roma <3
