Posty of Cagliari, Italy

Another card I got from Enry, I only know Cagliari as one of Football team in Italy. In fact, it is much more than that. Cagliari is the capital of the island of Sardinia, a region of Italy. Cagliari's Sardinian name Casteddu literally means the castle

Posty of Sardegna Tharros

Tharros was founded in the VIII Century by the Phoenicians, but the territory was previously populated by the Proto-Sardinians. After the Phoenician domination, the town became a Roman settlement. More about it is here.

Thanks to Enry, he is just 14 years old but be a big fan of Postcrossing.

Posty of Fountain of Trevi ~ Roma


Thank you to Francesca from Italy, this is very impressive Postcard.

The Fontana di Trevi or Trevi Fountain is the most famous and arguably the most beautiful fountain in all of Rome. This impressive monument dominates the small Trevi square located in the Quirinale district.

Posty of Panicale "Castello Medievale"

Postcard from Italy, little square Umberto I of Panicale, located in Umbria Italia. I got from Alexi. Thank you very much, I've never been to Italy as yet, and would like to visit there one day.

Panicale, as it is the case for most of the villages of the region, still maintains a medieval aspect due typically to the remains of the old town-walls and the fortified doors.

To whom, however, artistic works are more interesting, good reasons to visit in Panicale the church of S. Sebastiano, are offered by two frescoes of the Perugino: "Martyrdom of St. Sebastiano" and "Incoronazione di Maria" as well as by the beautiful facade of the Collegiata, which locates in St. Michele square.

Postcard of William Bouguereau - The First Kiss, Italy

Got this postcard from Andrea again when she visited Italy with her family. Tt is the painting of William Bouguereau called The First Kiss. William-Adolphe Bouguereau (November 30, 1825 – August 19, 1905) was a French academic painter.

The stamp was removed long time ago, so I could not see when I got this postcard, but I'm sure it must be quite number of years ago.

Thanks Andrea for your love sent long way to here.
