My parents sent this from Lake Garda in Italy, how they managed to get their hands on this gem is beyond me as it's a proper old school postcard. It's difficult to date, the clothes the people are wearing could be anywhere from 50's to 70's.
I love the way they would touch up the colours to make everything more vivid, and you'll always find people going about their business in the scene, this style of postcard is so nostalgic. And very evocative, I can feel the heat of the sun, hear the water lapping against the boats in the quay and I really want to be there.
They just don't make them like this anymore....
From my parents when in Lake Garda, Italy - 2008
