Italy 1927 Old Postcard ROME CHURCH Spanish Steps Monti

Series No: 4375/8
Sent from: Rome
Addressed to: Vienna
Condition: Used
Background: The Spanish Steps (Scalinata di Spagna) in Rome ramp a steep slope between the Piazza di Spagna at the base and the church Trinità dei Monti above. The monumental stairway, of 138 steps, was built with French diplomat Stefano Gueffier’s funds (20.000 "scudi") in 1723‑1725, linking the Bourbon Spanish embassy to the Holy See, today still located in the piazza below, with the Trinità dei Monti church above.
