Unknown to me Italian casino.

According to "Venture Magazine" Vol. 1, No. 1, June
1964; "A Gambler's Geography of Europe" by Charles
Graves, the author is now describing the casinos of
Italy:

"Italy has five casinos (1964); at the Lido, near
Venice; San Remo, [see examples below] on the
Italian Riviera; Saint Vincent, in the Valle
d'Aoste; Campione, on Lago Lugano and --> (new to
me) Taormina, in Sicily. Taormina is the newest
one, and it provides both Trente-et-quarante and
Roulette."

Though my casual research of Italian casinos that
sprung up in the Alps (short-lived) after WWII is
very scetchy and only providing me monogrammed
material not attributed to any actual casino name,
this is the first casino I've come across... located
so far to the south. It, too, must have been a
short-lived operation.
