Admiral Naokuni Nomura, head of the Japanese military mission in Italy, talking with Italian naval officers during his visit in Taranto, May 1941. While there, Nomura gathered information about the November 1940 British raid, which was used in the planning of the attack on Pearl Harbor. [928 x 602]
This picture was taken onboard the light cruiser *Emanuele Filiberto Duca d’Aosta*, and the first officer to the right of the two Japanese officers is Captain Franco Rogadeo, commanding officer of this ship. Nomura is the officer holding what looks like a sort of picture (?). To his left, an unnamed Italian Admiral; the man on the far right I think is an officer of the Italian Air Force, but I am not sure.
