Construction of the Andrea Doria passenger ship in the Sestri Ponente shipyard. This photo is dated 1950. The Andrea Doria was commissioned by the Italian Navigation Company and was one of the pride of our country in the second post-war period. On 25 July 1956, the ocean liner was wrecked following a collision with the merchant ship Stockholm. Ansaldo Foundation conserves material that can be consulted relating to the sinking, as well as numerous images present in the Photo Library, relating to the construction and fitting out of the turboship.
