SC50 post 18 June - History

Following on from bridges... Sunday Challenge

... now looking for a photo with a historical story - related to a building, statue, or something which will be of interest to fellow members.

A paragraph, or two, describing your chosen subject, would be very welcome.

It could be an artwork which has some historical significance.

Have a great week!

The volcanic Aeolian Islands are in the Tyrrhenian Sea north of Sicily, named after the demigod of the winds Aeolus.
The largest island is Lipari. The other islands include Vulcano and Stromboli.

Brilliant photo - no doubt nowadays, those buildings will have been painted so they look good in photos.

Thanks Jenny. Yes I looked it up on Google and in the recent photos it is looking very well kept. I took the photo above in 1986...

Heard it has been painted and not only because of mass tourism, nowadays in most places the old enchantment is therefore lost… lucky you to have seen this in less crowdy times!
