Venice

been there once, about 30 years ago, but it's high on the list for a return trip.
A typical view of Venice in this lovely old postcard from 1905.
Two similar views of San Marco. The card on the left was posted in 1905 - the writer comments on the number of pigeons. That on the right appears to be from the 1930s.
