Via Nazionale, Rome 1945

Via Nazionale, Rome 1945
Brought forward for the Vintage Photos Theme Park theme of "defaced" - scratched out or deliberately damaged faces.
Sent from Italy to England, this is Fred Pizzey, a friend of my mother.
I always thought this photo was interesting because the woman's face appears to be deliberately blanked out.
I imagined post-war intrigue. Who was she? Had she demanded that the photographer hide her identity?
Probably not, but the "de-facing" looks so deliberate.

Fortunately, I did not experience that time.
But both men and women have itched between the toes from time to time
