One sheet, ROMA
is a vintage travel poster designed by Virgilio Retrosi around 1930 to promote tourism to Rome, Italy. The poster features prominent Roman landmarks, including the Column of Marcus Aurelius, the Altare della Patria (also known as the Monument to Victor Emmanuel II), and the bell tower of Santa Maria Maggiore. The text "ROMA" is displayed at the bottom of the poster.
The original posters were printed by Novissima in Rome and are considered a lithograph in colors. The artwork is a notable example of Italian Art Deco design. The monument in the foreground is the Column of Marcus Aurelius, which was dedicated around 193 AD. The large white building in the background is the Altare della Patria, which houses the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Italy. |
