Ravenna was created by Giovanni Guerrini circa 1930 for ENIT (Italian State Tourist Office) and the Italian Railways to promote travel to the historic city in Emilia-Romagna. The design shows a view toward the Basilica of San Vitale, one of Ravenna’s most important monuments, celebrated for its Byzantine mosaics.

Printed in lithography, the poster reflects the interwar period’s focus on highlighting Italy’s regional cultural heritage. This example has been mounted on linen for preservation and is in excellent condition.
