Wonderful Life of Italy in the Late 1950s Through Fascinating Color Photos

A selection of color slides from Fraser Pettigrew belonging to his grandfather James Halley, from one or more trips to Italy, probably in the late 1950s.

“Most of the slides were home-mounted in glass slide frames and haven't seen the light of day for many years, being kept by my late Uncle Semple who took possession of them after my grandfather died in 1976.”
