Important Added Info: Note that this is an extremely rare Italian poster from during World War II that we never have auctioned before! Virtually no Italian posters survive from before, during, or right after World War II (mostly only some heavy stock lobby cards, and even those are rare). Apparently there were many paper shortages in Italy during World War II, resulting in the destruction of almost all posters from before World War II, and also from during the war, and the first few years afterwards! Note also that this Italian one-sheet measures 27 1/4" x 39" [69 x 99 cm]. Also note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube.

Condition: good to very good. The poster has some spotty slight discoloration mainly in portions of the edges and on back where it is not very noticeable. There is a snipe at right and there are two tax stamps at upper center. There is a tear in the title at upper right. There are a few tears of varying lengths around the edges. After linenbacking the very rare poster should display well.
