Carolina Imperiale with a friend of hers. The car is a Fiat model 520 (built from 1927 to 1931) and is the first with the driver on the left. The tool near the driver looks like one of the very first taximeters.

Carolina Imperiale in a different make car, with unknown friends. The car is again Italian (Fabbrica Italiana Automobili Torino - FIAT) and again with wooden wheels. It is a model 509 (built from 1925 to 1929) and is the first utilitarian produced (low price, 2 doors but 4 seats) and seems to have modified mudguards.

The inscription on the back of the photo possibly reads: ‘Olga freize Kati ti na Fate’?
