Vintage Italian travel posters are the rarest to find because during the course of the second world war many were lost and they were not as collected and kept as were the French travel posters. So when we find a beautiful art nouveau italian travel poster it can be very rare and one of the few known copies. The Italian Railways or ENIT as you will see in the bottom corner represents the official logo of these posters dating to the 1920’s 30’s. We have one of the largest selection of Italian travel posters on the internet. If you don’t see it pease ask and we will search it out
Original Swiss travel poster by Daniele Buzzi, created in the early 1950s to promote tourism to Lugano, the Italian-speaking city on Lake Lugano in Ticino. The composition shows the picturesque lakeside village of Gandria with its steep waterfront houses and boats moored along the shore. The multilingual title “Lugano — Suisse • Southern Switzerland • Schweiz” appears above, emphasizing the region’s cosmopolitan appeal. Printed by A. Trüb & Cie. in stone lithography, this large-format poster is professionally backed on linen and preserved in excellent condition. It remains one of Buzzi’s most admired Swiss railway and travel designs, notable for its saturated colors and serene depiction of the lake and surrounding Alps. Certificate of Authenticity included.
