Can anyone confirm this location

Pleased that my favourite Italian city has made the 'headlines' on the forum.

Vitellino

 

Good afternoon Vitellino,

Would this be the "White Tower" in the photograph at the start of the thread? (I had no success with trying to open the link you posted, but that may well be a computer issue at my end!)

Faro della Vittoria

Keep well dear lady,

Kind regards, always,

Jim.

 

Hi again

I’m becoming almost 100% certain that the picture was taken in Trieste

I’ve been doing some more digging & I’m going to upload a few photos that all but conclusively prove this, so bare with me.

Hopefully this will all work

 

This is a better photo of the original to start with

 

This still is from the google street view app

Encircled is a church built in the 1960’s hence why it’s not in the HMS Peacock picture

apologies if the image quality isn’t great, it won’t let me Upload more than 2mb

 

Same pic
but just pointing out that the left hand part of the image is slight skewed and makes the shoreline look quite odd

 

And arrowed is the lighthouse


So I’m pretty confident that we’ve not only got the area nailed down, but it also seems that We’ve pretty much found the location (maybe to within a hundred yards) of where the pic was actually taken from

 

Hi Jim,

It's the same tower. If you Google Map it, you can drop the 'little orange man' onto the location and you get a view from the top, and across the bay to where the original photo was taken!

Regards

Bruneval
