MICHELANGELO & RAFFAELLO: 1965 - Fold-out interiors brochure - GermanItalian 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 German. 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 12 color photos from all 3 classes showing public rooms and cabins. My favorite is of the First Class Dining Room
