https://fotografia.cultura.gov.it/iccd/item/FFC015788

The image depicts a vintage postcard featuring an old European street scene, possibly from the late 19th or early 20th century. The photograph is in black and white with visible signs of wear on its edges, suggesting it has been handled frequently or stored for many years. On the left side of the card, there's a faded text "La Via Appia vista di basso," which translates to "The Via Appia seen from below." This indicates that the image shows a view down an ancient Roman road in Perugia. The street appears narrow and extends into the distance with buildings lining both sides. Notable features include stone arches, possibly part of older structures or remnants of historical architecture, indicating some level of preservation or restoration efforts for historic sites. A couple of pedestrians are visible on the right side of the path; one is walking away from the camera while another lies down near a street lamp, which could suggest rest during travel or an artistic choice.

The image depicts a vintage postcard with black and white photography, showing an expansive outdoor scene in the town of Como. In the foreground is Piazza Vittoria (Victory Square), featuring wide-open spaces that allow for public gatherings or activities. The central focus is Porta Torre con Brunate, which likely refers to the Tower Gate leading towards Brunate—a hillside neighborhood known for its scenic views and historical significance. On one side of the square stands a grand structure with tall arches reminiscent of Roman architecture, possibly part of historic fortifications or public buildings. In contrast, quaint European-style homes line the opposite side, displaying traditional facades and shutters over windows. The background is dominated by rolling hills adorned with dense forestation, suggesting Como's geographical setting amidst hilly terrain. The square bustles with early 20th-century life: individuals are seen strolling or standing in groups, engaging in social i

The image depicts a historical black and white photograph of the Verona Arena, also known as the Colosseum. The structure showcases large arches and walls made from stone blocks, indicative of Roman architecture. In front of these ruins stands a tall pillar with an ornate top that includes what appears to be religious iconography or possibly a cross. There is a person walking in the foreground on the left side, providing scale for the grandeur of the structure behind them. The setting seems urban as other buildings can be seen in the background, and there's text at the bottom indicating this photo was taken by Oreste Onestighel from Verona with a reference number 23481.

The image displays a vintage postcard featuring an old photograph of the ancient Roman amphitheater in Verona, Italy. The inscription "Verona - Anfiteatro" is visible at the top, followed by "Edil O. Onestighel - Verona," indicating the photographer or publisher's name and location. The architecture shown includes a series of large semi-circular arches that are part of the amphitheater structure, with some appearing intact while others show significant decay. The photograph captures a bustling street scene in front of this historical site, with several people walking around dressed in late 19th-century attire. These individuals include women wearing long dresses and hats, men in suits with top hats or bowler hats, suggesting the era's fashion norms. A child is seen holding what appears to be an umbrella on a pole, possibly indicating weather conditions at that time. The street has various establishments along its sides, including a kiosk labeled "Verona" which could have been use

https://fotografia.cultura.gov.it/iccd/item/FFC017397

The image depicts an aged postcard showcasing the ancient Roman amphitheater in Verona, Italy. It is a monochromatic photograph with visible wear and tear indicative of its age, likely from the early 20th century or late 19th century. In the center stands the impressive structure known as the Arena di Verona, featuring a series of arches along what appears to be the remaining exterior wall. The amphitheater is in a state that suggests historical significance and some level of disrepair, with missing sections visible on certain parts of the façade. In front of this grand architectural backdrop, several individuals are scattered across an open area leading up to the arena's entrance. These figures vary from children playing near lampposts to adults standing or walking by themselves, portraying a slice of life that contrasts sharply against the historic site behind them. The setting is spacious and appears relatively devoid of modern elements. The sky above is clear with no visib

The image depicts an antique black and white photograph of the interior of a Roman amphitheater, likely in Verona as indicated by the text. It shows rows upon rows of empty stone seating descending into a central performance area with remnants of grass or debris spread across it. The structure is quite large, with multiple levels visible, showcasing its historical significance and grandeur even without maintenance. In the background, buildings can be seen, including what appears to be an ancient tower-like structure, suggesting that this amphitheater stands within Verona's urban landscape. There are no people present in the photograph which adds a sense of stillness or abandonment. The text at the top reads "Verona - Arena - Interno," providing context for both location and subject matter.

The Roman city at Wroxeter, known as Viroconium Cornoviorum started as a settlement that grew up around a Roman Fort near the end of the Watling Street Roman Road.

It's thought to have become the 4th largest Roman settlement in Britain. By the 4th Centry, it was in decline however, and by the 5th the city centre had been abandoned.

A photo of "The Old Work" a 7m high piece of Basilica wall., This is the largest piece of free-standing Roman wall in the country. This show the stone piles that would have supported a heated floor in the bath house. A view through a hole in the Basilica wall, looking into the bath house.

The image is a vintage postcard featuring a black and white photograph. At the top, in red text on a beige background, it reads "Verona." Below this heading is an old street scene with several individuals walking along what appears to be a pedestrian zone or plaza. The people are dressed in early 20th-century fashion; men wear suits with hats while women don long dresses and high collars. To the right of the image stands the ruins of Roman structures, likely part of Verona's ancient architecture including parts of an amphitheater known as "Arena."

The image shows a black and white postcard with the title "Roma - Castel S. Angelo" written at the top, followed by Italian text that translates to "(with view of St. Peter's Dome)." The scene depicted is an outdoor riverside setting featuring architectural landmarks in Rome, Italy. In the foreground, there are two boats on a calm river; one boat has a person with paddles who appears to be rowing or fishing from it. To the left side of the image stands Castel Sant'Angelo (also known as Mausoleum of Hadrian), an ancient Roman mausoleum built by Emperor Hadrian in 134 AD and later incorporated into the walls of Rome. Behind the castel, a bridge with multiple arches spans across the river. In the background, centered above the water's reflection on the calm surface is St. Peter's Basilica, one of the largest churches in the world known for its dome designed by Italian architect Michelangelo Buonarroti and cupola. To the right side of Castel Sant'Angelo stands a large circular for

This image features a historical Roman amphitheater ruin under bright daylight. The structure is composed of large, weathered stone blocks in hues of red and gray, indicative of ancient construction materials like volcanic tuff from the nearby Mount Vesta. Arched openings line one side, suggesting where seating or decorative elements might have been located. Surrounding grassy areas with manicured hedges provide a contrast to the earth-toned stonework, highlighting pathways that lead through remnants of architectural columns and fragments. The photo is taken at an angle from within what appears to be another historical site, possibly indicative of Roman gardens or a similar space, as suggested by garden-like structures in the foreground. The scene includes green foliage partially obscuring the view on one side, adding to the ambiance of preserved antiquity amidst nature's reclamation. The overall setting conveys an atmosphere of serene preservation with visible signs of time and

The image depicts an aerial view of ancient ruins, specifically the Roman Forum and the Palatine Hill in Rome. This black-and-white photograph appears to be vintage or historical, showcasing a wide expanse with various remains such as columns, arches, walls, and pathways indicative of classical architecture from antiquity. In the foreground, there are scattered remnants that resemble broken stone structures, possibly parts of ancient buildings or monuments now reduced to rubble. The middle ground reveals more substantial architectural ruins including colonnades, large open spaces which may have been public squares in Roman times, as well as what looks like a bridge crossing over an archaeological site. The background features the Palatine Hill with its distinctive terraced levels and scattered remains of buildings that could be related to the residence or seat of power for ancient Rome's emperors. Prominent structures stand out against the skyline including columns standing alone
