At 6am this morning it was dark, cold and snowing. In Carmine Superiore, every day is a big adventure...
The curious thing is that the card is addressed to a person staying at the Hotel Formentin (which still exists) in the spa town of Albano Terme (which also still exists, unsurprisingly), near Padua. Perhaps it is the addressee who is taking the holiday, and the writer who stayed at home. Could this card actually have been sent by a resident of Carmine? And could this resident still be around?
I'm off into the snow to find out...

Any hope of downloading this picture down into my computer, louise. I think its one of the best showing the position of Carmine above the lake.
Of course - I'll email it to you!
Oh how interesting Louise, I think old postcards provide a fascinating insight into social history of the period.
This one has obviously made you curious, do let us know what you find out.
Wonderful old postcard! Let us know if you come to the bottom of this mystery.
