Souvenir of the Rome Exhibition with Photographs and Vintage Images - Italy 1911

This precious memento of the 1911 Rome Exposition is a rare historical testimony of the event organized to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the Unification of Italy. The volume, with its decorative Art Nouveau cover with the Capitoline Wolf symbol and the SPQR inscription, contains an extraordinary collection of period photographs and illustrations, which offer a unique look at the pavilions and attractions of the exposition.

The work includes a series of detailed images of the pavilions of the various participating nations and thematic areas, such as Japan, France and Germany, as well as representations of the Italian buildings dedicated to the regions and cultural themes. The photographs are accompanied by multilingual captions that pay homage to the international character of the event. The fold-out format of the volume, which allows for dynamic use of the images, reflects the editorial care typical of those years.

Printed in Milan by the prestigious Bertarelli publishing house, the booklet was available at the price of one lira, as indicated on the back cover. Despite the time that has passed, the souvenir is in remarkably good condition, with slight signs of wear on the cover, which add to its historical value. The original graphics and still vivid colors testify to the elegance with which this souvenir was conceived to capture the essence of such a significant event.

Perfect for history buffs, collectors of period memorabilia, and scholars of cultural events, this memento of the 1911 Rome Exposition is an object of great documentary and symbolic value, capable of bringing to light the grandeur of an era of artistic and political ferment.

Being an object that is more than 100 years old, the souvenir book presents some signs of aging and a portion of pages detached inside it, which however do not compromise its charm.
