Joe Blaustein's Color Photos of The 1966 Flood of Florence

Posted

I was trying to protect the copyright of Joe and the City Archive, but I guess they sent these few photos out in a press release because everyone seems to be using them in the press coverage. There are a lot of articles in the Italian papers this morning which is great - after nearly 50 years Joe's dreams of sharing his images has come true!
