First to recognize the last Mystery Photo was Lou Camerio of Lilburn wrote: “This is the Arno River in Florence, Italy. The dome in the distance is of San Frediano in Cestello, which was the work of pioneer architect Filippo Brunelleschi, (1377-1446). Work on the church was started in 1680 and halted in 1689. The interior was built in the Baroque style and designed by Gherardo Silvani and Giulio Cerutti. Today it is a monastery and still very active.” (The photo came from Bobby Park of Brookhaven.)
Also recognizing the mystery were Jay Altman of Columbia, S.C.; Allan Peel of San Antonio, Tex.; Stew Ogilvie, Lawrenceville; and George Graf, Palmyra, Va.
