Dating back to the 1910s, this image offers a captivating glimpse into the early history of the Italian Navy.

As the torpedo boat passes through the canal, it leaves a gentle wake, creating a tranquil scene that belies the military might it represents. The surrounding landscape, with its lush greenery and quaint buildings, adds to the photograph's charm.
