Venezia Italia

This beautiful original poster is a true classic, promoting travel to Venice with a striking Art Deco flair. Likely from the late 1920s or early 1930s, it was issued by ENIT (Italian National Tourist Board) in cooperation with FS (Ferrovie dello Stato, the Italian State Railways).

The composition is bold and iconic, featuring close-up details of gondolas with their characteristic iron prow-heads (ferro) framed against vividly painted mooring poles (paline). In the soft pastel distance, the unmistakable domes of the Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute rise through the mist, anchoring the scene in unmistakable Venetian grandeur.

The contrast of deep purples and warm pinks creates an atmosphere that feels both romantic and modernist—an invitation to an elegant escape.

Professionally linen-mounted, the poster is in excellent condition with only minimal restoration. A rare and stunning piece, perfect for collectors of Italian travel art or Art Deco design.
