TRAUB PRINTER

LUGANO — Daniele Buzzi – 1950

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.
