The image displays a vintage postcard featuring black and white photography with red printed text. The main subject is an aerial view of the town Pietrasanta (Valdicastro) in Italy, known as "Village where Giose Carducci was born." In the foreground, several buildings are visible against a backdrop of rugged mountains, suggesting a rural or semi-rural setting. Red handwritten cursive annotations adorn the bottom right and center-left areas of the postcard, adding personal touches to the printed information.
The text at the top in red print reads "Pietrasanta (Valdicastro) - Villaggio ove nasce Giose Carducci," which translates from Italian as "Pietrasanta [Valdicastro] - Village where Giose Carducci was born." Below this, additional handwritten annotations mention preservation of a vineyard by Pietrasanta and provide the year 2017 with an attribution to Altero G. Terni.
The overall composition conveys historical significance through its depiction of local geography and personal connections to notable figures like Giose' Carducci, potentially enhancing its value as a piece of cultural heritage for collectors or those interested in Italian history and literature.
