The image is a black and white photograph of a young man sitting on a concrete bench in front of a house. He is wearing a military uniform with a belt and trousers, and is holding a cigarette in his left hand. He has short hair and is looking directly at the camera with a serious expression on his face. The house behind him has a sloping roof and there is a tree in the background. On the right side of the image, there is text written in Italian, which appears to be a handwritten note.
