Though perhaps less familiar to Americans than those of their French or English neighbors, these travel posters promoting Italy's foremost tourist destinations can hold their own in any room. Inspired by the lithographed poster revolution in Paris and how it could be used to promote travel, the government commissioned works from local artists. Ranging from 1920 through 1960, these works of art in this book take us region by region, from the most popular destinations like Rome, Venice and Naples, to the smaller towns of Spoleto, Portofino and the Isle of Capri. Over 150 vividly colored images, with an overview of poster history and biographies of the artists. 160 pages, HC,
