1907 Private Messaging

In June of 2022 I discovered 11 more Italian postcards, the majority of them sent in the late 1800s and early 1900s. I scanned them and added them to this website. View the top (11) in the “All Italian Postcards” gallery by clicking HERE. One of the more interesting postcards was one sent by Alessandro Marchisa to his betrothed, Lena Peracchio, in New York , sometime in the spring of 1907. Lena was living with her Uncle Serafino Rosasco and his family. Since there was nothing private about a postcard, (the message was there for all to see), Alex and Lena communicated by using a third party friend, (name unknown), of Alex’s who worked at the Hotel Delmonico on 44th St in Manhattan.

Here is that postcard:
