But, like Rome.

Rome is more than 30 km from the sea, so that the picture just is not. Still, there is Russia, which does not compare with Rome (You surely in doubt, it is Moscow - the Third Rome), and from Venice. Yes, and "Rim" Do you have an open call (as would have written then)?

Although the best resolution Petersburg on your picture also looks, shall we say, conventionally, ie not geographically accurate. Such structures depicted on the coast of Vasilevsky Island appeared only in 1960. It is possible that the picture was written from memory. However, Russia is still easily recognizable in silhouette of Peter and Paul and St. Isaac's Cathedral.
