Year: 2013

I’ve been collecting postcards since I was a kid, since I found out a bunch of postcards that my father sent my mother when he was serving in the Army (the year long military service there was once in Italy, mandatory when you turned 18 or something and only for boys…) way before they got married. Since then, I treasured each card relatives and friends sent me. At first I had them all in a pile in a shoe box, then I discovered postcrossing and decided to use photo albums to catalog them. Now I have more than 700, all of them in my postcard gallery but their just an image, I don’t know almost anything of what they represent (except for some of the Italian ones bought by me while I was ‘tripping’/vacationing in those cities) so I think I’m going to choose a postcard of the week and find everything I can about that place and write it here. So on Tuesday, I’m going to create a Postcard Tuesday and explain something about that particular monument, building and so on Let’s see if I can keep up this ‘section’ of the site
