I found an old train ticket in this second hand book I bought a while ago.
I’m wondering who was so passionate about studying Romanticism on a train from Milano to Trieste on 11th april 1988. Were they returning from holidays and studying for an exam? Or were they doing research for their thesis?

Hello fellow cover spies -
I recently crashed my phone (whoops) which had all of my spied covers stored on it (r.i.p.). For the time being, I’ll be reblogging from other CoverSpy cities until i restore a back log. If you want to submit your own spots, send them through the ‘civilian spots’ on our blog.
Sorry for the radio silence, but the phone was a bit a fiasco.
XOXO, happy reading,
Agent Expat
