Here is an interesting picture thatcan be found here:http://www.trio-lescano.it/partecipazioni.html. It shows the 441 line German camera used from 1939 to 1943 in Milan. Caption says :"Maria Jottini in front of the experimental studio's TV-camera in North Park's Tower in Milan".The rest of the page is only devoted to the Lescano singing sisters trio and other artists who were invited to 'radiovisione' programs and to other music-hall performances in theatres and on the radio.
