EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an advertising poster from 1932, promoting North Africa airlines for Libya, which was then an Italian colony. The poster, created by the talented artist Antonino Calcagnadoro, exudes the essence of Fascist propaganda prevalent during that era. The image depicts a sleek airplane soaring through the sky against a backdrop of sandy dunes and palm trees. The aircraft represents progress and modernity while symbolizing Italy's colonial ambitions in North Africa. With its bold typography and striking composition, this advertisement aimed to entice potential travelers to explore the wonders of Libya. During this time period, aviation was seen as a powerful tool for expanding influence and control over colonies. This particular poster targeted Benghazi (Bengasi), one of Libya's major cities at that time. It sought to convey a sense of adventure and allure associated with air travel while reinforcing Italy's dominance in the region. Luisa Ricciarini has beautifully captured this historical artifact in her private collection. Through her lens, we are transported back to an era where art merged with politics to shape public perception. This photograph serves as a reminder of both the artistic talent behind these advertisements and their significance within the context of Italian colonialism in Africa during the early 20th century.
