Well, some days ago I was able to enter an old Italian school in Rhodes, which now is a public school, and I took some shots of the entrance. I hope I manage to upload them succesfully here (since I'm no expert in doing this) and I wish someone helps me identify the gentleman in the portrait and the lady in sculpture - my guess is they are Pericles Ioannides (Percks) and Marie (?) and although he was governor of the islands after WWII, I can see no way Marie could be connected with Rhodes, but I'll try to find out more.
In the meantime:
