My Dad visited Pompeii in WWII, and got these old postcards and photos. He was in the US Navy at the time, and it was his first experience overseas, and his only one.

I would LOVE to see the venetian watercolors!!! The oil painting I plan on doing for above my fireplace is of a venetian market. (The red-orange awnings in the market should help tie in my vibrant red-orange wall color…) Funny, but in the Bond movie “Casino Royal” they have a scene where they show the exact market, minus the awnings. If you would like to see the Vespa, I’ll take some pics after I unload it and add them to my flickr site.

Go for it, Colleen. I’ll have to take a picture of my grandmother-in-law’s venetian watercolors, which we inherited and have in the office. SO TYPICAL of the era. Italian-Greek-Spanish: All wonderful to collect.
