Sunlight rakes across two of antiquity's best-preserved Greek temples — the so-called Temple of Poseidon (now identified as the Temple of Hera II) and the ancient Basilica beyond it — at Paestum in the Campania region of southern Italy, captured here in a warm sepia-toned photographic card published by Fot. Palumbo of Capaccio (Salerno) that was mailed in the 1930s by a traveler identified only as a friend waiting for the boat to Capri. The writer rhapsodizes to "Jack" — staying at the Pensione Morandi on the Piazza dell'Annunziata in Florence — that "Paestum is a tremendous experience" and that the trip has been "quite perfect," while quoting the Latin "vae soli" (woe to the alone) and describing a day walking the Salerno and Amalfi coast, then traveling by cassock-clad company toward Amalfi. The card is franked with two Italian Fascist-era stamps: a 10-centr Augustus Caesar brown and a 20-cent Caesar red, both of the iconic "Imperiale" series issued under Mussolini, lending additional philatelic interest to this already evocative travel document.
