Hmmmm, intriguing. Palm trees, Roman statues, colonial looking policeman. Also there appears to be a Torino and Vercelli number plate showing so rules out a far flung place like Eritrea. Never been to Villa d'Este but maybe somewhere like that? Can't quite read that sign either - is it something like Corse 7?
Well done Stanley. 'Villa d'Este the Italian Concours' available from Parkside or Hortons Books
