Descriptive Note Text

This black-and-white photo postcard shows several buildings in the Alpine Village. Rather than reproducing a specific village in the Italian Alps, the Alpine Village was a combination of typical elements taken from multiple Alpine hamlets.  Here we can see a typical log cabin, the village's church, and the steep alley leading to the village square. In this postcard, the modest and timeless village contrasts with both the symbol of Turin's technological leadership, the automobile, and the imposing structure of Valentino Castle.
