If you agree that the return address is Via Margutta 33, Truman Capote apparently lived there once.

I would agree on the address, looks like Margutta 33 to me. Who's Truman Capote?

Quote:
Truman Streckfus Persons (September 30, 1924 – August 25, 1984), known as Truman Capote ( /#712;tru#720;m#601;n k#601;#712;po#650;ti#720;/),[1] was an American author, many of whose short stories, novels, plays, and nonfiction are recognized literary classics, including the novella Breakfast at Tiffany's (1958) and the true crime novel In Cold Blood (1966), which he labeled a "nonfiction novel." At least 20 films and television dramas have been produced from Capote novels, stories and screenplays

Have you read 'Children on Their Birthday,' a short story by Capote? It's one of my favorites.

I don't know what you're specifically asking about on that cover either. And I certainly know very little about Italy or the Italian stamps and/or postmarks on the cover. Nevertheless, I did pickup a few interesting tidbits that I thought I'd share about the cover itself:

1. Looks like a nice New York (Idlewild Airport) postmark on the face of the cover.

2. Also an interesting postal marking on the cover that looks as if it says "Airmail Package/Collect Ten Cents."

3. I haven't too much information on the addressee (Mrs. L. M. Isaacson) but a check of the address of 14 Washington Terrace, St. Louis, MO reveals that it was (and still is) something of an exclusive address in St. Louis, based upon this information:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washin..._(St._Louis)

4. In fact, the address itself is shown at this link as having been built in 1905 and having 7344 sf of space and 4.5 baths. Quite a "mini-mansion" for St. Louis:

5. It is also interesting to note that the current owner of 14 Washington Terrace is said to be a Professor or Instructor at the University of Missouri.
