Design Information:

A vintage travel poster of Torino, Italy, painted by Adalberto Campagnoli in 1951. The poster features an abstract representation of the city at night with a large, black horse in the foreground. The horse is inspired by the equestrian statue of Emanuele Filiberto, the Duke of Savoy, which is located in Piazza San Carlo, one of Torino's main squares.

The statue, known as the "Caval 'd brons" or "Bronze Horse" in Piedmontese, was created by prominent Italian sculptor Carlo Marochetti in 1838. It depicts Emanuele Filiberto on horseback, raising his sword triumphantly to commemorate his victory at the Battle of San Quintino in 1557. Although the statue itself is bronze, the dark colour of the metal might have inspired the black horse representation in Campagnoli's poster.

Campagnoli's inclusion of the iconic equestrian statue in his artwork is a testament to Torino's rich history and its connection to the House of Savoy. The presence of this historical monument in the poster highlights the city's heritage and serves as a reminder of the influential figures who contributed to its development and prestige.

This captivating poster, with its striking and unique portrayal of Torino's historical significance, is an eye-catching piece that would make a wonderful addition to any collection of vintage travel posters. The bold, abstract style and evocative imagery of the city at night, coupled with the iconic equestrian statue, provide a lasting impression of the beauty and allure of Torino, Italy.
