I saw this postcard in a local tobaccaio and felt compelled to buy it.  It is one of the most honest and unpretentious postcards I have ever come across on my travels.  It's charm is delightful with the text in the bottom right corner proudly proclaiming 'Monopoli City Tourism'.  I admire the unbridled optimism of the card designers.  We view a streetscape composed of feral plants, lopsided signposts and what looks to be an expanse of rubble. It begs the question "WTF are we looking at?" And what do you write on this card when sending it to loved ones far away?... 'Having a great time, wish you were here'.
