Palermo was created circa 1930 by an anonymous artist to promote travel to the Sicilian capital. The design shows a view through an arched opening onto one of the city’s important monuments, emphasizing Palermo’s architectural richness and long history as a cultural crossroads.
Printed by Amarzi, Rome, using lithography, this is one of the few known posters produced specifically for Palermo. Works promoting the city were far less common than those for other Italian destinations, making this an uncommon subject in Italian travel advertising of the period.
