Castroreale Bagni
Castroreale Bagni
(50cm x 69cm)
Escaping summer in the city is a desire that is not new - this fun 1948 poster by Gino Boccasile advertises just that. This poster entices us to come to Messina, Italy for the Castroreale Baths - where the alkaline and sodium-rich waters ease a variety of medical conditions. The promise of seeing a pretty nude brunette seems to be the main draw here, however.
Castroreale is a small village in the larger city of Messina, on the Italian island of Sicily. It has been significant since the Medieval Ages due to its easy access to the Eolian Islands. It has over 80 churches, one of which dates to the time of Frederic II of Aragon in 1324. Sicily has long been a destination for mainland Italians to visit in the summer, when its prime location in the middle of the Mediterranean provides excellent beaches and plentiful seafood.

If there's anything you want to know about posters, vintage or more modern, there's nothing Mr Ross doesn't know. His open and friendly manner helps one to choose the most suitable material whether for decoration, investment or whatever... I can't recommend him highly enough.

Just wanted to say thanks for the poster. You sent it on Thursday and it was delivered the following Monday (nearly quicker than it took us to get home) to our house in Perth, Australia. We have just had it framed. We love it; it goes perfectly with the room.

The Ross Gallery has the best selection of vintage posters I have ever seen. Seriously, if you are in the market, they are the people. And, they know everything there is to know about the posters' provenance.
