Original Italian poster from 1926 for the National Railway ENIT - Assisi

1926

This magnificent original 1933 Italian travel poster promotes Trento, issued by ENIT (Ente Nazionale Italiano per il Turismo) to celebrate this Alpine city’s cultural heritage and stunning natural beauty. The poster features an elegant and detailed illustration of the Monumento a Dante, the imposing statue of Dante Alighieri inaugurated in 1896, framed by a lush landscaped park and set against the dramatic backdrop of the Dolomite foothills. The harmonious composition bathes Trento in the gentle warm light of a late afternoon, with pastel pink clouds illuminating the scene and a palette of bright florals and deep green conifers guiding the viewer’s gaze toward the monument. Printed by the renowned Chappuis printing house in Bologna, the poster is marked with the ENIT emblem at lower left, signifying its official purpose to promote Italy’s regional cities and historic sites.
