Found this photo of my grandpa in Italy before he emigrated to Canada in 1953. Not sure what year exactly, but based on age must be 1940s/50s

Your grandpa had serious style – that pinstripe suit and the way he’s posing with those pigeons is peak old world charm.
the suit is sharp as hell for just hanging with birds lol
He is better dressed than 99% of young men today. Bella figuro.
Your grandpa was a pigeon?
he looks like a movie star tbh, the suit is sharp as hell.
he looks like he’s about to drop the hardest album of 1952 lol

He looks a much like this guy from Love on the spectrum.

What a sharp looking dude.
He looks like a young Sly Stallone
I wish it was still acceptable, fashionable even, not to smile for photos.
Cooler than cool
Your Nonno had great style.
He is very handsome and I’d say it’s probably mid 40’s maybe 1946 after the war. Cause I don’t think if it was war time they would just standing in that plaza like that
So the dumb pigeon thing really is a tradition I guess
Looks like the actor Rufus Sewell!
He’s standing in front of the Duomo, the Milan cathedral. You could re-create this photo if you’re interested.
This photo is pure art and should be framed and displayed properly. It’s absolutely beautiful and has a lot going on. The main subject, your grandpa, was a handsome man and very photogenic.
Thank you for sharing a piece of your life
