Frana a #Camogli in Liguria. Crolla la scogliera su cui sorgeva il cimitero del borgo marinaro. Duecento bare finiscono in mare. In un video l'istante del disastro.

“Thousands upon thousands of best regards from me and your sister, Ottavia. Soon we will be husband and wife, and I sign below, your friend always, Camillo Di Bonaventura.”

[Italian Studies at Assumption University @AssumptionITA]

We love this story of Camillo DiBonaventura, who had immigrated to the US in 1908 and settled in Southbridge, MA. He sent this postcard and his picture to his future bride, Francesca, in Campagnano (Lazio). They had never met but remained married for 50 years and had 8 children.

“Riceverete mille e poi mille cordiali saluti da me e dalla tua sorella, Ottavia. Entro breve saremo sposi e sotto mi firmo per sempre, tuo amico, Camillo Di Bonaventura”

To celebrate the birthday of #CharlesDickens, his wonderful opening description of his visit to #Pompeii in 1844 from his book ‘Pictures from Italy’. https://t.co/kx9mC4bxvN
I love that he takes as much delight in the tiny detail as he does in the majesty of the grand vista.
