A vibrant and highly decorative Italian travel poster created for ENIT (Italian National Tourist Board), showcasing the beauty of Naples. Mario Puppo captures the historic Castel Nuovo (Maschio Angioino) in the foreground, rendered in bold color and graphic clarity. Beyond, the composition opens to the Bay of Naples with ships in the harbor and the unmistakable silhouette of Mount Vesuvius, gently smoking beneath a clear blue sky. The strong contrasts of green, blue, and warm stone tones give the image both depth and immediacy, making it an excellent example of mid-century Italian tourism design.
