Rome in 1949 - in full Technicolor

We came across this lovely full colour film footage of Rome, taken in the summer of 1949, and wanted to share it with you here.
Peaceful, isn't it? There aren't even Vespas on the roads. And then those traffic controllers in their beautiful suits! Do you recognize some of the cars on those Roman roads?
