Portrait of a couple: Florence, Italy, c1900

This portrait of an Italian couple has no date but appears to be from the early-1900s.  It was found at a street market in Reggio-Emilia but was taken at the Adolfo Miniati photo studio on the outskirts of Florence.  The verso lists the studio address as Via de Ginori 28, which Google street view shows is now the site of a body art salon.  The building would appear to have been constructed in the Fascist era and is thus too recent to have housed the photo studio.
