HOCKEY / FEDERAZIONE ITALIANA HOCKEY E PATTINAGGIO. 1954.
39¼x26¼ inches, 99¾x66¾ cm. Condition B+: repaired tears, creases and restoration in margins and image and along vertical and horizontal folds; slight darkening at folds.
An eye-catching work in which hockey players are skillfully rendered in saturated colors with multi-colored outlines. The Federazione Italiana Hockey e Pattinaggio is the Italian governing body for all sports involving skating and hockey, and they likely printed this image in conjunction with the 1960 Olympic Games in Rome. This poster frequently appears with the blank panel at the bottom, intended to be filled with the time and date of an upcoming match, trimmed off. This poster is occasionally misattributed to Corrado Mancioli, who designed a poster for the same organization in the late-1930s.
