Hello,
The card was sent to Rüti, a village close to Zürich (the Swiss have many names with ü).
It shows an aerial view of the famous mountain Matterhorn and was sent on the occasion of an international flight-meeting. The round cancellation (in Italian) is for a flight from Zürich to Bellinzona (in Ticino/Tessin).
Greetings

Hello xiaolin,
Of course kartenhai is right regarding Zch.
The picture had not appeared immediately on my screen and I thought you were still asking about Rüti. Anyway, that allowed me to check the etymology of that name.
Here is from Wikipedia :
Rüti, which comes from the Old High German word riod, meaning clearing is a popular name for towns in the German speaking part of Switzerland.

Yes, handwriting can be a real headache, especially here in Western Europe where everybody seems to develop his/her own style.
We don't appreciate the art of calligraphy in the same way as the Chinese do.
(I have to add that the handwriting on your Swiss card is quite artistic.)
