Corva was a graphic artist who also worked in furniture, decorative arts and advertising. Though many of his designs, including these postcards depicting Italian monuments and scenes, have a Futurist aesthetic, he was not formally involved with the movement. Corva also created two modernist posters for the "Mostra del Mare in Trieste," (c. 1935) as well as one for the "Circuito Automobilistico" in 1949. Includes duplicates. Images available upon request.
