La Riviera Italienne Portofino 1920 Vintage Travel Reproduction Poster About this poster: This vintage travel poster, created around 1920 by artist Mario Borgoni, promotes the Italian Riviera. The artwork captures a scenic elevated view of the picturesque coastal town of Portofino, located near Santa Margherita and Rapallo. The composition draws the viewer's eye from the lush agave plants in the foreground, down across the warm, terracotta-roofed buildings clustered around a tranquil harbor, and out towards the serene blue waters and green hillsides of the Ligurian coast. The poster's artistic style blends elements of Art Nouveau and early Art Deco, characterized by its elegant lines, rich color palette, and balanced composition. The warm sunlight on the buildings contrasts with the cool tones of the water and the dark foreground, creating a sense of depth and an inviting atmosphere. Text at the bottom reads "LA RIVIERA ITALIENNE" in bold lettering, clearly stating the destination. Logos for ENIT and the Italian State Railways are also visible, indicating a coordinated tourism campaign. This poster was sponsored by the Ente Nazionale Italiano per il Turismo (ENIT), the Italian National Tourist Board. Founded in 1919, ENIT's mission was to promote Italy as a top travel destination to an international audience. After World War I, Italy sought to revitalize its economy, and tourism was a key sector. ENIT commissioned prominent artists like Mario Borgoni to create visually stunning posters that showcased the beauty and allure of Italian locations, encouraging travel by rail and sea. Our vintage-style travel posters capture the timeless spirit of adventure and nostalgia. This classic piece embodies the allure of bygone eras and invites you to explore the world as it once was.
