UMBERTO DI LAZZARO ITALIAN AERIAL LINES. Circa 1930. 391/2x241/4 inches. I.G.A.P., Rome. Condition A-: restored losses in corners; repaired tears in margins. A stylized, Machine Age image of passengers at the windows of whizzing airplanes, ascending and descending through the Italian skies. Within Europe, Italy was one of the last countries to develop their commercial aviation industry. However, by the mid 1930s Italy had progressed far beyond most of Europe, ranking only behind Germany and France in the number of passengers carried on a yearly basis. This poster seems to predate 1934, when three of Italy's largest airline companies banded together to form a single, government-owned company, Ala Littoria. This is the English version. Modern Poster 174.
