Mountains, hills, parks, rivers, lakes, seashores, art cities with an ancient past, thermal spas, Renaissance villas, intriguing archeological ruins and a solid tradition of hospitality have made Italy, since the last nineteenth century, a favored destination of a nascent national and international exclusive, cultured class of tourism. To make Italians themselves as well as the foreign market aware of the many attractions of the Beautiful Country, the message was entrusted to the publicity tools par excellence of the time: posters, flyers, brochures, picture magazines. Their force of communication and capillary penetration was the vehicle for luminous, charming, and always very elegant images, in both choice of color and formal solutions, which were often commissioned by the leading illustrators of the period, from Duilio Cambellotti to Leonetto Capiello, from Marcello Dudovich to Franz Lenhart, from Gino Boccasile to Mario Puppo.
This book is perfect for lovers of art, travel, or history. It would make a lovely coffee table book or an excellent addition to any library.
