Terni's steelworks made the city into a poster child for Italy's industrial production, with such products as ship hulls, naval canons and rifles produced there. This Machine Age travel poster capitalizes on that reputation by emphasing the industrial might of the region, depicting a turbine driven by Terni's Cascata delle Marmore waterfall.
