I probably don't see the photos in the same order as you, but is this the one you are talking about? < http://api.ning.com/files/e5iyWrav4T*qBk2MNESOy2Bu*GKiJuCOGv95OCpdf90Udg9dmd5zRsLhP0JBPMbYeN9v8o92BPlJUF-J2PKcyLUm1zJTpMFQ/Immagine.jpg> "Immagine da Giovanna" just means "Giovanna's pictures". Giovanna is an exceptional lacemaker, but this one is part of her album "The wonders of Aunt Gianfranca" < http://fioretombolo.ning.com/photo/albums/le-meraviglie-di-zia>. So I don't think it's antique, but maybe older.
The pictures of damaged buildings and lacemaking in front of the blue tent are from one of the members who lost her home in the devastating earthquake in l'Aquila, near Rome, in the first week of April.
