This vintage postcard depicts the aftermath of the devastating Calabria earthquake of September 1905, showcasing the destroyed entrance of the village of Pescopio in southern Italy. The black-and-white image captures rubble-strewn streets and damaged buildings, alongside two women carrying water jugs, providing a poignant glimpse into early 20th-century rural life and the impact of natural disasters in this historic region. Printed by G. Mutisano & Co. of Milan, this original Italian postal card features period-accurate typography and a detailed postmark dated October 21, 1905. The postcard bears an authentic postage stamp depicting King Victor Emmanuel III, adding to its collectible value. This piece serves as both a historical document and a cultural artifact illustrating the resilience of Calabria's communities during a turbulent era.
