Descriptive Note Text
This color postcard reproduces a view of the Medieval Castle (the "Rocca") and the connected Village (the "Borgo") from the river Po. The Borgo and Castello were realized for the International Fair of 1884, following the project of Alfredo d'Andrade. In the Village, shops, fountains, decorations and streets were built following examples of Medieval architecture in Northern Italy. During the Fair of 1911, the Castle hosted the "Retrospective Exhibition of the Art of the Printing Press".
The postcard was mailed to Florence.
