Tramlines glint down the Via Emilia in Modena, Italy, beneath the sweeping arched portico of the Collegio — a quintessential example of the covered walkway culture that defines the Emilian streetscape and would later earn Bologna's porticoes a UNESCO designation. Figures in Edwardian dress stroll beneath the colonnaded arcade; a tram-stop sign marked A.C.M. Fermata Obbligatoria anchors a lamppost mid-frame. The blue-toned photographic card was mailed in September 1918 — the final weeks of World War One — by a traveler named Lynn, who writes to "Dear mother & all" that they are "having a fine time, a great little trip, taking in some big cities. Am feeling fine." Postmarks show the card passed through both Firenze Ferrovia and Genova before crossing the Atlantic to Washingtonsville, Ohio.
