AMLETO FIORE (1920-2008)
BY THE SUPER ELECTRIC TRAIN "MN" / ITALIAN STATE RAILWAYS. Circa 1960.
38 1/4x26 1/4 inches, 97x66 1/2 cm. Garzanti Editore, Rome. Condition B+: repaired tears and replaced losses in margins and along vertical and horizontal folds.
The chic and glamorous ETR-250 Arlecchino, one in a series of electric trains operating in Italy since the mid-1930s, took its maiden journey on July 23, 1960, a month before the Olympic Games were held in Rome. The sleek, streamlined and modern exterior is shown here, as are photographic vignettes of the creature comforts offered inside. Little is known about this artist who primarily worked in the years after the Second World War. This is the English version. Bolaffi p. 92.
