Victor Perantoni riding in CATTOLICA - ADRIATIC SEASHORE
in North Italy, with a girlfriend on motorcycle - August 1933.

Vintage small snapshot of 1930s era,
approximately 6.9 cm. X 4.4 cm.

Old photograph in reasonably good condition.
Shows age-marks of the album's corner mounts.


Collection of Motorcycling in Pre-War Northern Italy, 1933.

Posed photo using Zeiss-Iconta auto shutter on tripod.

An old photograph from family album of Carlo Perantoni and still in reasonably good condition.  Shows the age-marks of album corner mounts.  Overall, a nice collectible vintage photograph.  The photo survived evacuating Poland to avoid the Third Reich's savage fury, only to be stored 18 months under Allied aerial attacks in Mussolini's wartime kettle in northern Italy where it survived the total destruction of our native town (Volargne di Dolce).  Then it traveled to Australia and back to Europe and then to U.S.A.  It's an old age-marked photo, but still in reasonably good condition.

THE 3 COLLECTORS OF ALL OUR SALES

(See the 'Winiarnia' photo) - FROM LEFT, Carlo Perantoni and his two sons, Luigi and Victor, standing in front of the ‘Winiarnia Italia’ showing their new display of Italian wines just delivered by rail.  The youngest (Victor) took the photo with his ‘Zeiss-Iconta auto shutter on tripod soon after unloading the delivery and dressing the front window, still in their work clothes.  The photo was made into a postcard and sent to family relatives in their native alpine town in North Italy, Volargne di Dolcè.  Each of our eBay sales is given a free postcard copy of the 'Winiarnia photo'.


SUMMER MOTORCYCLING IN NORTH ITALY

All our motorcycling photographs are originals, developed, enlarged, and some made into copies at photography ateliers in the city of Lwow during the 1930s, prior to WWII.

DATES AND LOCATIONS are from captions handwritten on backsides of photos found in albums of Carlo, and of Luigi and Victor. Among the copies are conflicting dates and locations, explained by Victor as resulting from the photos brought to Italy after evacuating Poland in 1939, and afterwards put in each one’s album during 1940s. "Some memories might’ve been confused" - explained Victor - pointing at the 3 albums manufactured in Italy containing older photos developed in Poland.  Our sales of each photo list the handwritten captions of dates and locations even if some copies are conflicting.

SIGNATURES OF CARLO & VICTOR  found on backsides of some photographs were not intended to be official autographs.

Note the "XI" that Victor wrote on the back next to the date.  ROMAN NUMERAL DATES had been an Italian tradition marking the thriving 20 years of Mussolini’s fascism prior to his alliance with the Third Reich. The numerals count the years since Mussolini became Italy’s ‘Duce’ leader in 1922.  Thus, Victor's Roman Numeral "XI" signified that 1933 was the eleventh year of Mussolini's Fascism (1922-1931). 


OUR FILM PROJECT

Several accounts about the lives and experiences of Carlo, Luigi, and Victor Perantoni in pre-war Poland have been published in film scripts and books since Victor's death in 2002.  Among the titles are "Arrivederci Leopolis" -- "The Lion's War" -- "Filatelista Fascista" -- "Reprisal of Lions"--  and others.  Their intriguing experiences in Poland and Italy during WWII are recounted as lead and supporting protagonist roles in the award-winning screenplay "The War of Lions" which is currently in film pre-production. 

 Victor Perantoni is the posthumous name of our family eBay store:
