GUGLIELMO SANSONI "TATO" (1896-1974)

ALA LITTORIA / LINEE AEREE ITALIANE. 1934.

39x27 inches, 99x68½ cm. Barabino & Graeve, Genoa.
Condition B+ / B: faded; repaired tears at edges, two slightly into left image; creases and minor restoration in margins and image. Framed.

Tato's Futurist poster "elevates the tail section of an Ala Littoria aircraft to monumental status, aggressively thrusting the tail toward the viewer as the craft's orange vertical stabilizer rises majestically skyward . . ." (Crouse p. 17). The airline resulted from a merging of four others, and was the national airline of Italy, with Mussolini's support, until World War II.

Crouse p. 16.
