Abruzzo Italy

This is an original vintage travel poster from the 1930s, promoting Abruzzo, Italy as a travel destination. It was issued by ENIT (Ente Nazionale Italiano per il Turismo) and the Italian State Railways (FS) to attract visitors to this picturesque region. The artwork is by Vincenzo Alicandri and beautifully captures the traditional culture and breathtaking landscapes of Abruzzo.

The illustration features a group of women in traditional Abruzzese attire, walking together in a procession. Their colorful dresses, aprons, and white headdresses are intricately detailed, highlighting the region’s rich cultural heritage. In the background, there is a charming stone church with a bell tower, nestled among lush green fields and rolling hills. The mountains behind the church are painted in warm hues of orange, red, and yellow, evoking a stunning autumnal scene. The sky transitions from a soft pink to deep purple, adding to the enchanting atmosphere.

At the bottom of the poster, "ABRVZZO" is prominently displayed in large, elegant letters, reinforcing the focus on the region. The ENIT and FS logos appear in the lower corners, marking it as an official Italian tourism promotion.

The poster is in good condition, professionally mounted on linen with an acid-free barrier for preservation. This piece is a stunning example of early 20th-century travel advertising, perfect for collectors or anyone with an appreciation for vintage Italian art and tourism history.
