Vintage Postcard 1969 Angel Bridge Rome Italy Castel Sant’Angelo Small Format
Social History: Message from a traveler en route from Rome to Brindisi: Old scenes from new angles everywhere you go! So many things are so much larger than you would think, after seeing them all in pictures so often.
Scene: This view captures the massive cylindrical fortress originally commissioned by Emperor Hadrian. The bridge in the foreground features the famous angel statues, and several people are seen walking across it toward the castle.
