Rudolph Valentino autograph letter twice-signed with his real name, ''Rodolfo'' and again, ''Rodolfo Guglielmi''. Valentino writes on 17 July 1912 as a 17-year old in agricultural school in S. Ilario, Italy to his childhood friend Bruno Pozzan. In Italian, postcard translates in full, ''Dear Bruno, I sent a postcard to you at school, but I suppose that you're on vacation in Carmignano. On the 27th I'm going to Milano for my vacation. Then in October I'll take my final exams, and I'll come and visit you all in Perugia. Do you know Rivolta's address in Milan? Send it to me if you have it. When you write to Manlio, send him my best regards. Lots of affectionate good wishes from your friend / Rodolfo / My address in Milan is: Rodolfo Guglielmi / c/o Central Post Office Milano''. Underneath a girl by the name of Pina writes, ''Warmest regards''. Verso of 3.5'' x 5.5'' postcard shows a large plant in S. Ilario, likely Valentino's agricultural school. Some abrasion to corner of postcard, on photo side, and light wear. Overall very good condition with neat, legible handwriting by Valentino.
