An original Italian travel poster promoting Trento, located in the Trentino-Alto Adige region of northern Italy. Issued in 1925 and printed by Chappuis in Bologna for the ENIT (Italian State Tourist Office), the poster reflects the period’s effort to encourage tourism and cultural pride in the region, which had only recently been annexed to Italy after World War I.
The design features the prominent statue of Dante Alighieri, set against the architectural backdrop of Trento’s historic center. Dante’s presence underscores the Italian cultural identity of the region, while the clean composition and modernist typography exemplify the graphic style of Italian railway and ENIT promotional art of the 1920s.
This stone lithograph measures 27.5 × 39 inches and has been professionally mounted on linen. It is preserved in excellent A condition, with bright colors and strong presentation. A striking and historically significant piece of Italian travel advertising.
