How can you tell they are italians? By the helmet shape?
Seth Gaines said:
Exactly. Plus the rifle, and the cannon. I'm curious as to what these pictures are doing in the Dutch archives. Were they German pictures left behind, or sent for local publication?

I believe that this is the "Propylaea" (gateway) on the Acropolis of Athens. Going through the gateway (which served as a checkpoint) leads you to the Parthenon.
