A kiosk selling magazines and newspapers in the backstreets of Rome, Italy in 1955. Two men are browsing the latest news. The sign above the stall advertises ‘Il Tempo’ (meaning ‘Time’ in English), a daily, local newspaper. Posters on the wall opposite include one for the movie ‘ Avvocato! (‘ Lawyer!’), an Italian comedy film directed by Giorgio Bianchi, starring Alberto Sordi, Maria Berni and Giulietta Masina and released that year.
A stall selling fruit and vegetables in the backstreets of Rome, Italy in 1955. A woman is handing over money for her purchases. On the wall opposite are posters, including ones for Certina Swiss watches and Irving Berlin's ‘There's No Business Like Show Business’ is a 1954 film directed by Walter Lang. It starred Ethel Merman, Dan Dailey, Donald O'Connor, Mitzi Gaynor, Marilyn Monroe, Johnnie Ray and Hugh O'Brian. This image is from an old amateur 35mm colour transparency. It will look slightly soft if used at too large a size – a vintage 1950s photograph.
