| Description: | Not the best image quality - looks like RGB colors seeping through the B&W. No$talgia: Memories Mean Riches to Emigrant's Village. The tiny village of San Marco D'Urri receives $340,000 in Bank of America stock, 25 shares for each inhabitant, as a gift from the sons of a local boy, born 100 years ago, who emigrated to America and made his fortune. Interesting variety of people, from elderly woman to smiling children. Certificate that says "Bank of America." Man shows the stock certificate to a toddler girl while press photographers snap away. | |
