Assisi
One sheet, vintage travel poster for
Assisi
, Italy. The poster features an illustration of the town, framed by an archway, with the name "ASSISI" at the bottom.
This style of poster was a popular form of advertising for tourism in the early to mid-20th century. This particular artwork has been attributed to the artist Vittorio Grassi and was created around 1920. The poster was commissioned by the Ente Nazionale per le Industrie Turistiche (ENIT), which was Italy's national tourist board, to promote travel to the region.
The artwork captures a view of Assisi and the surrounding countryside, with the Basilica of San Francesco d'Assisi often being a central element. The style of the poster is a blend of realism and illustration, characteristic of that era
