Famous Italian on holiday

Post by richardhill » Fri Jul 19, 2013 9:37 am

Todays news in Corriere della Sera, one of Italys leading morning newspapers.
A picture of famous Italian writer Alberto Moravia on holiday in Tamanrasset, Algeria.
His transport?
A Series 2A Dormobile! What else could you choose in the sixties? Maybe a camel train.

Fantastic :cheers:

Nothing about it on the on-line version of the newspaper though :thud: I was hoping we might be able to link to a picture.

Cheers,

If anyone thinks they could copy and print the picture, which is newspaper black and white (i.e. nearly all grey) and get it on here I will gladly post the page to you. I am a mechanic and dont even have a modern camera, never mind a scanner or anything digital, but I warn you , it is poor newspaper quality!
