The artist, Mario Borgoni (1869–1936), was a prominent Italian painter, illustrator, and poster designer known for his contributions to travel advertising. His work for ENIT and other travel agencies helped shape the romantic visual language of Italian tourism in the early 1900s. Borgoni’s posters are recognized for their dramatic compositions and their ability to blend classical themes with early modern aesthetics.
