Artist: Renato Ferrini
Important Added Info: Note that this is an extremely rare pre-World War II Italian poster! Virtually no Italian posters survive from before World War II (mostly only pre-war 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 pre-World War II posters! 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. The poster has darkened unevenly (see our image). There are pinholes around the edges. There are tears and small bits of paper loss on parts of some foldlines, and paper loss in the middle of the top and bottom blank borders. If I owned this really cool and extremely rare poster, I would surely have it linenbacked by a talented professional. After proper restoration, it will look fantastic!
