{"product_id":"italy-travel-posters-coloring-book","title":"Italy Travel Posters Coloring Book","description":"\u003cp\u003eSunny beaches, stunning mountains, ancient monuments, and vibrant cities—Italy seems to have endless excitement for tourists. Through its posters from the 1920s and 1930s you can ride the iconic gondolas of Venice, explore the mountainous village of Merano, and stand high above the sea amid the ruins of Taormina. For decades, posters were a common way for countries around Europe, including Italy, to attract people for a fun-filled jaunt or relaxing escape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRailroad companies, such as the French Paris-Lyon-Méditerranée or the Italian Ferrovie dello Stato, would commission posters by renowned artists and designers to advertise their luxury routes. Riders from cities and towns all along the lines—basically, all over Western Europe—could board and make their way to Rome, Venice, or anywhere else in Italy where the trains stopped. The government even got into the business, creating the ENIT, or Italian Government Tourist Board, which also commissioned many of the designs you see in this coloring book.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor your coloring pleasure, this book contains line drawings tracing twenty of these early Italian travel posters. The original full-color posters are shown as small pictures on the inside front and back covers. Maybe you’ve been to one or more of these places, or maybe you’ll visit them someday. Which places seem most appealing to you? Which poster designs attract your attention the most?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImages\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMario Borgoni (Italian, 1869–1936), \u003cem\u003eMerano\u003c\/em\u003e, c. 1927\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoger Broders (French, 1883–1953),\u003cem\u003e Rome\u003c\/em\u003e, 1921\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoger Broders (French, 1883–1953), \u003cem\u003eFlorence\u003c\/em\u003e, 1921\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnknown designer, \u003cem\u003eMarina di Ravenna\u003c\/em\u003e, 1931\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAttilio Ravaglia, \u003cem\u003ePalermo\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGeorges Dorival (French, 1879–1968), \u003cem\u003eRome\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGeorges Dorival (French, 1879–1968),\u003cem\u003e Venise\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMarcello Nizzoli (Italian, 1887–1969), \u003cem\u003eBergamo\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWalter Molino (Italian, 1915–1997), \u003cem\u003eItalia \/ Abbazia\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnknown designer,\u003cem\u003e Simplon Express\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSergio Franciscone (Italian, b. 1912), \u003cem\u003eMerano\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVirgilio Retrosi (Italian, 1892–1975), \u003cem\u003eRoma\u003c\/em\u003e, c. 1930\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnknown designer, \u003cem\u003eVenezia\u003c\/em\u003e, 1928\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnknown designer, \u003cem\u003eTrafoi \/ Passo dello Stelvio\u003c\/em\u003e, c. 1920.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGiovanni Guerrini (Italian, 1887–1972), \u003cem\u003eCesenatico\u003c\/em\u003e, 1927\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAttilio Ravaglia, \u003cem\u003eRavenna\u003c\/em\u003e, c. 1930s\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eErnest Louis Lessieux (French, 1848–1925), \u003cem\u003eChemins de fer de l’Est \/ Venise\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVittorio Grassi (Italian, 1878–1955), \u003cem\u003eTaormina\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGiuseppe Riccobaldi (Italian, 1887–1976), \u003cem\u003eLago di Garda \/ Riva-Torbole\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnknown designer, \u003cem\u003eAux Lacs Italiens\u003c\/em\u003e, c. 1928\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\nSoft cover book with staple binding\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e48 pages with 20 images to color\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize: 8½ x 11 in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eColoring pages are blank on the back so they can be cut out and displayed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePublished with Swann Galleries\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"POMEGRANATE CALENDARS BKS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32870432669759,"sku":"CB163","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0069\/4009\/8629\/products\/italy-travel-posters-coloring-book-302.jpg?v=1597180679","url":"https:\/\/canvasrto.shop\/products\/italy-travel-posters-coloring-book","provider":"Bird in Hand","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
