Descriptive Note Text

This lovely postcard reproduces a watercolor by painter Rofolfo Paoletti depicting the Royal Monopolies Pavilion.  Paoletti captured the circular layout of the central body of the Pavilion, surmounted by a slender and elegant cupola. In the background one can see the tower of the Castle in the Medieval Village. The Royal Monopolies Pavilion was designed by architect Orsino Bongi.

Paoletti's watercolor was likely based on a photograph that was also reproduced in a series of postcards.
