I post the following images to
enlighten and assist those trying to determine where Rudolph
Valentino was when these two remarkable photographs were taken. It
has been brought to my attention that someone reported these were
taken in New York City. For those of us who live in the relative
proximity of Genoa and Sant'Ilario, this terrain appears to be
typical of the hillsides, the flora and architectural landscape. I
share a few images; one historical image of the school Valentino
attended there and a few more to demonstrate the surroundings today.
Perhaps this will help.
Micheal Morris shared these images with
me some time in 2013 or 2014 and used a cropped portion of one on his
Facebook page (see previous post). He told me he received permission
from the Valentino family to use them in a lecture.
If anyone wishes a copy of these images
without a watermark or to learn more about them, I suggest they might
contact a spokesperson for the Valentino family.
In my opinion these photographs were
not taken in New York.
