Great stuff Mariano. The next best thing to being there.

Concordato. Ho bisogno di migliorare il mio ((Itailiano) I mean Italiano) però!

Saluti a tutti

Wombato.

Edited: to fix my Italian - can you believe it?

Anch'io. What a lovely language it is too.

Really well done, another excellent resource from Mariano. I like the blend of moving colour film from today with sepia archive stills of old - it captures the feel of being in the domaine very well, and adds context, too. Simple, tasteful, understated; it takes you right there with no unnecessary fanfare, and allows you to appreciate the pictures for what they are. Thanks, Mariano.

thank you....thank you

What a beautiful place.....even without a mystery.

THAT'S really the point I was stressing! Happy for the comment, it was my original and only goal

It could be worse! Dan Brown wrote some Italian sentences in "Angels and Demons" which are really funny, i.e. "If this guy disappears, we are fungito", where in Italian "fungito" has no meaning at all (it sounds like something related to mushrooms!)

Grazie, Mariano!

You must have been overcompensating for the lack of Wombat tails...

By the way, I have been meaning to reveal a small secret to you and I suppose this is as good a time as any...I actually share my home office with two "Weary Wombats" that I purchased years ago for the wife and daughter - both declined to take them upon exit, so I now share my empty nest with two wombats and a cat!
