She's got gorgeous body!!!
wow wow wow
chapeau!
proud and athletic!
This photo instantly became one of my favorites.
She is so beautiful. I guess it is outrageous for 1928 but i'm glad she had the courage to do something new! I like when people do that without going crazy.
This photo instantly became one of my favorites.
I wonder what she had for dinner that night...
Your long ago and far way is beautifully captured.
I must say, the Italians are leaving us in the dust with this vintage stuff.
Cool!
http://cestclassique.blogspot.com/
I love her figure in this suit. There's something about seeing the width of the hemline that makes you notice her beautiful wasteline. Three cheers for hips.
I second that. Wow!
She's absolutely beautiful.
This pic is gorgeous. Love vintage and this is a great piece.
http://elenavasilieva.blogspot.com/
Spectacular! I wonder what kind of camera this was?
Aside from having such an amazing figure, she held herself in such a poised, noble, and proud way. You're lucky to have those genes!
she's super hot and vibrant! i love the shot!
fashion ssugar wonderland.
she is a classic beauty.she has such a charming elegance even in a simple swimsuit.
What a fantastic shape in that suit!
love Sanremo, love her nerve.
she's beautiful! i love that that was an outrageous swimsuit in 1928. i wish they still made those sort of bathing suits.. they're so cool.
.. beautiful !! :)
She's so slim and beautiful!!
Really pretty!!

The cut of that swimsuit is amazing. What nerve and sense of style!
It is splendid! smiles
Every time you post one of these fabulous vintage photos I get closer to tossing out all of my 'modern' clothes. That hair is terrific as well.
Oh, and I would love to see a "vintage" category.
Great shoulders and a beautiful bod in general. Elegantly racy for the day it was taken.
LOVE the vintage fotos - keep 'em coming, please.
What a beautiful lady!!!
she's so gorgeous! i love bathing suits like these...

there's something about vintage photos that always looks so natural. no one ever looks like they are posing. awesome photo of your grandmother.
stoneandcloth.blogspot.com
ah, san remo in the twenties....
just a skip over to la napoule would set her straight into 'tender is the night' - i imagined the same kind of hair, swimsuits and postures throughout that book.
this photograph is so warming. so beautiful.

This is a stunning photo!

I LOVE this - she seems to have a look in her eye that says ,"One day I'm going to be admired by thousands...How or when I don't know...but ONE day." p.s. Love the sepia tones, but this is the first vintage photo you've posted where I'd love to see it in colour too!
Wow Mauritzia, wonderfull picture of you grandMa. elegant and chic woman.
Beautiful grandmother!
Wow, your grandmother looks awesome, really awesome legs. I'd so love to have that hot body.

http://bulbizar.blogspot.com/
It's interesting to see how 18 year olds look like back then.
STUNNING!!!
This is such an amazing photo!!!!
Scott,
Like so many others here, I have really enjoyed looking at the images from this photo contest. I wonder if one of the crucial elements which make these personal photos so compelling is the genuine affection of the photographer regarding their subject. This gaze of the photographer seems to bring out something honest and unguarded in the men and women captured. The best portraits really resonate emotionally like these - I think many of your photos have this quality too.
she's gorgeous ;DD

so pretty. :)
Vintage Diva!

this is lovely! what an amazing photo.

She looks fabulous. Brava for Giulia & her Italian elegance.
Graceful!
This is a great photo. Thank you for continuing to post these vintage photos. It is interesting that this was considered an "outrageous" swimsuit even in 1928.
This photo reminds me of the very charming Esther Williams film "The Million Dollar Mermaid," in which Williams plays real-life swimming legend and pioneering feminist icon Annette Kellerman. Kellerman was actually arrested in 1907 for wearing a one piece swimsuit that showed her legs and was put on trial! She thereupon invented a one-piece bodysuit that covered her legs as well, and the judge approved it as being within the bounds of public morality. Within a few years though, swimsuits such as this one that showed the legs became acceptable (Kellerman even sold a line of them called "Kellermans"), and you would see them frequently in films of the 1920s. Anyway, photos like this are an interesting reminder of that era.

Divina, sembra una starlet Tedesca.
i wish we saw more vintage bathing suits!!!

Those muscles! Was she an athlete?
It became boring these old photos, love your blog, but that´s enough, isn´t it?
Marie
This is an amazing photo!
What a feeling it has to be if this is your own granny?! She's a beauty, Maurizia!
I adore vintage photos and hope to see much more here!
beautiful photo.And she is modern sport and actual with her long Modigliani figure.
Wow, thats nice :)
Beutiful picture!
Wow! Great picture!
its not often enough that you come across a slender figure with elongated legs and a narrow waste, who is not impacted by the severe fashion world we are influenced today. You can see how healthy she is, it is really refreshing.
Such a classic hairstyle, it makes her appear quite sophisticated, particularly for an 18 year old, a lovely wish would be to bring back this era.
maybe on my next birthday...
lovely to et a glimpse of what inspires you, you have wonderful taste
She's so fit! Impressive given there was no toning at the gym back then..
Thanks to Scott for sharing the photo of our grandmother and thanks to all of you for your nice comments, we loved them. We wonder what she would think if she could read them....
straight out of the GREAT GATSBY!!!!!
check this pic:

Just beautiful. Like the beginning of an epic.
first of all, the yellowish colour theme in this photo give it a lot of depth and put a old menory mood right on.
second, her posture so elegant that even should not be mentioned since too obvious, it is her very neat hair that hold my eyes, and those eyes, confident and welcoming, or proud and privite.
this photo keep me thinking of the song"cry me a river"

bellissima, grande!

Is this a tribute photo? I assume you posted it 'in memoriam'? If yes, sorry for your loss. She's really beautiful
favorite photo by far.
I feel like that dress/bather screams Rick Owens!
http://layersandswathes.com/
wow, that sure is outrageous!!! GO GRANDMA!!
She is truly beautiful and such a classic photo to be proud of! The cut of the suit is amazing considering the year - totally flattering!
What a beauty!!
She is absolutely gorgeous and I love the composition of the photo. The sharpness of her eyes and face... Stunning.
The beach was so much classier before Nike Swimwear.

She has the body of my dreams.
Yes, your grandma is incredible, Maurizia :-)
We have to thank Maurizia for her beautiful body, we have to thank you for publishing this picture and, of course, San Remo, my awesome city! You should come here, then, and see what changed here!!
