MICHELANGELO & RAFFAELLO: 1965 - Color interiors brochure - English Alcoa Line Beyond that on the starboardItalian Line: A fold out (17" by 23") interiors brochure from the 1960s for the RAFFAELO and MICHELANGELO, the Italian Line's mid 60s "super ships". The text is in English. Their distinctive funnels are featured on the cover. Inside is a lovely aerial view of Genoa with the sisters tied up to the pier, stern first per tradition. There are twelve color photos from all three classes showing public rooms and cabins. My favorite is of the RAFF First Class
