About the Item
This enchanting 1950 original Italian travel poster by the artist Puppo invites viewers to discover the serene charm of Baveno, a jewel of Lake Maggiore. Commissioned by ENIT (the Italian National Tourist Board), the artwork highlights the elegance and leisure of Italy’s postwar tourism renaissance.
Dominated by three striking palm trees in the foreground, the composition draws the eye toward the sparkling waters of the lake and the picturesque Borromean Islands beyond. Figures in stylish attire stroll along the promenade, evoking a refined, Riviera-like atmosphere. The palette is soft yet vibrant—lush greens, tranquil blues, and warm earth tones blend harmoniously under a cloud-dotted sky.
Puppo’s precise lines and romantic style offer a perfect snapshot of mid-century Italian graphic design, where travel posters doubled as dreamy invitations to the dolce vita. Baveno, with its promenade, palms, and panoramic view of the Isole Borromee, is presented as an idyllic destination for both relaxation and beauty.
Published by SAIGA (Società Anonima Italiana Grandi Alberghi), this poster captures the spirit of 1950s Italian tourism at its most elegant—an era where travel was as much about style as it was about destination.

Original 1933 Italian travel poster promotes Trento - ENIT Italian Railways
Located in PARIS, FR
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. The stylised border and typographic simplicity evoke the Art Deco aesthetic popular in Italian graphic design during the 1930s, combining classical elegance with modern clarity.
Trento, historically a meeting point of Italian and Germanic cultures, was in the interwar period developing its tourism identity as the “Gateway to the Dolomites.” This poster captures that strategy, celebrating both the city’s urban sophistication and its natural surroundings.
