des nouvelles des Jeux Olympiques
The Olympic Games held in London in 1908, known as the Games of the IV Olympiad, were held between April 27 and October 31.
Although the venue chosen by the Olympic Committee had been Rome, the eruption of Mount Vesuvius on April 7, 1907, forced the Italian government to devote all its efforts to the reconstruction of the city of Naples, which had been completely devastated.
