Black-and-white photographic postcard depicting a cobblestone street scene in the Valle del Bisagno (Bisagno Valley), Genova, Italy.

In the foreground, a donkey or mule cart loaded with goods makes its way up the narrow road, flanked by stone-walled buildings on the left, a gas street lamp, and large leafy trees providing a natural canopy. The valley floor and distant sea are visible through the tree trunks. Caption printed on the image reads: 'Genova.' (upper right) and 'Valle del Bisagno.' (lower left). Published by Fratelli Tasca, Editori, Genova — series no. 875. Back printed 'Cartolina Postale Italiana / (Carte Postale d'Italie.)' with the pre-1906 Italian undivided-back format and the instruction to write only the address on this side. Unused and unposted.
