Printed by Grafia in Rome, the composition radiates the warmth and cultural richness of central Italy's mountain communities.ENIT, the Ente Nazionale per le Industrie Turistiche, was established in 1919 to revitalize Italian tourism after the First World War. The agency commissioned prominent artists to create posters promoting destinations beyond Rome, Florence, and Venice, extending its campaigns to lesser-known regions celebrated for their unspoiled landscapes and ancestral traditions.Alicandri, born in 1871, produced several works for the ENIT series, including posters advertising San Remo and Brescia. The Abruzzese folk dress depicted here, with its layered handwoven garments, embroidered bodices, and distinctive headcoverings, represented centuries of pastoral tradition that varied remarkably from one mountain village to the next.These ENIT posters consolidated enduring visual identities for Italian regions that shaped international perceptions of the country for generations. This reproduction from the Library of Congress collection appeals to collectors of vintage European travel art, Italian cultural heritage, and the celebrated graphic design of the interwar period.
