Italy: Vintage Travel Posters 2019 Wall Calendar

Travel posters--stylish advertisements for tourists--captured a golden age of European travel in the 1920s and 1930s. From Lake Como to the canals of Venice and the cliffs of Capri, Italy beckoned tourists to explore its wonders for a fun-filled vacation or a relaxing retreat. Railroad companies, hotels, and even the Italian National Tourist Board (ENIT) got into the game, commissioning posters to promote their luxury routes and destinations. With stunning illustrations and typography, renowned artists and anonymous designers created for the world an ideal escape, often positioning the viewer high above their scenic destination. Though little is known about many of these artists today, their works fascinate everyone from casual observers to studied collectors.
