Design Information:

Created by renowned Italian artist Aurelio Craffonara and titled "Enchanting Alassio: A Glimpse of the Western Riviera,", this vintage travel poster was commissioned by E.N.I.T. (the Italian State Tourist Board) in 1929. The poster's purpose was to showcase the scenic coastal town of Alassio on Italy's Western Riviera, luring visitors with its breathtaking landscapes and delightful allure.

The poster captures a captivating view of the Alassio coastline from the vantage point of the local Santa Croce. Framed by an archway, the scene portrays a person and their donkey, laden with goods, ascending a hill towards the viewer. The warm tones used by Craffonara create an inviting atmosphere, while the small buildings along the beach and the seemingly endless coastline evoke a sense of wonder and adventure.

In this poster, his masterful use of colour and composition transports viewers to the Western Riviera, making it a perfect addition to any vintage poster collection or as a unique piece of wall art.
