It is customary for occupation to bring with it pomp and ceremony and the occupation of Castellorizo by Italy was no different.
Here we see a procession in 1927 from the Cathedral of Sts Constantine & Helene led by the wives of the two most important men on the island at that time: on the left, Rosa Tringali, wife of the then governor Salvatore Tringali, and, and to the right, Katina Ioannou Lakerdi (nee Vasilatou), wife of the then mayor of the island, Ioannis Yeorgiou Lakerdis.
Beside his mother stands a young Renato Tringali from whose collection this photo comes.
Behind the two women are the wives of Italian officials, while next in line are two of the island's female school teachers. Tringali and Lakerdis follow (each without hat) with priest Kyrillos Romanos. Partially obscured is another priest, Theodosios Simonides. To the left, raising his hat, is Konstandinos Christodoulou Konstandinou, then a member of the municipal council.
