I'm sorry but the reality is that Italian people born in Libya are still not allowed to get the visa to visit the country. I'm personally happy that Libya has finally reached the independence and open issues are only against Italian Government unable to refund our lost. I don't have any resentment aganist Libya and Lybian people. I'm only sad that I cannot visit the country nor the cemetery in Tripoli where my brother and sister are buried since the 60'.

tripoli bel suol d'amore, ti giunga dolce questa mia canzon. Sventoli il Tricolore sulle tue torri al rombo del cannon!

You must be joking , Libya is full of Italians - they still think they rule the place . !

Wow .. so many memories! I have no photographs from the time I lived there, though my stepdad probably still does. He was stationed at Wheelus and we lived there from 1956 to 1960. I was in the 4-7 grades there .. so long ago. We lived off base and I would take off and wander around the city by myself .. no one ever knew I was gone. Sometimes I would catch a garry for 10 p. because I loved to ride in them. I was scared of nothing. I've never stopped wandering .. Thank you!

wow...I almost broke in tears watching this. I wasn't born until 88 but what I remember of that time more closely resembles these pictures than it does today. Thank you for a beatiful post of my beautiful beloved country.

Uhm. Tripoli looks much more modern and clean in these old pictures than now. i am 40years late... Tripoli is completely different now, i don't like it, sorry to say that. what people in tripoli enjoy now is speeding with their cars. hard to believe, at work they are slow as zombies and suddenly they become formula one drivers.

Thanks so much for posting this. I was at Wheelus from 68-70 in 1st and 2nd grade. I remember that they moved 1st and 2nd graders to the quad from their separate building. In the middle(of the Quad) were two camels (Adam and Eve). I remember we always used the officer's beach on Wheelus because the family beach was too rocky, and that snack bar at the beach house.What a great memory that place was and how nice the Libyan people were.
