Romoli c.1947 ENIT Italian Travel Poster Discover the beauty of southern Italy with this original “La Verde Irpinia” vintage Italian travel poster by F. Romoli, created around 1947 for ENIT (Italian National Tourist Board) to promote tourism in the scenic Irpinia region of Campania. Professionally acid‑free archival linen backed and preserved in excellent condition, this striking poster is ready for display. The charming composition features a blonde traveler relaxing on a large green leaf floating on water, a playful symbol of Irpinia’s lush landscapes and tranquil countryside. Surrounding the figure are a series of postcard-style images highlighting the region’s picturesque destinations, inviting travelers to explore the natural beauty and historic towns of the area. The illustrated views showcase notable locations including Montella, Piano Laceno, Sant’Angelo dei Lombardi, Mercogliano, Monte Termino, Santuario di San Gerardo, Santuario di Montevergine, Ariano Irpino, and Avellino. These scenes emphasize the region’s mountain scenery, historic architecture, and famous religious sanctuaries located in the Apennine Mountains just east of Naples. Irpinia, located in the province of Avellino in Campania, is known for its rolling green hills, forests, and cultural heritage.
