Quickly after opening for business in Rome in 2021, I began searching for a solution to offering Italian Vintage aesthetics to customers worldwide without the high cost of international shipping. It is important to me that I sell beautiful things for every budget.

Working with a Digital Artist, months were spent researching, editing, scanning and preparing beautiful images from vintage shops and vendors to be sold as colorful, poster size PDFs. Pop over to your local thrift and pick up some cool frames – these prints make a stunning gift for folks you love – including yourself.

A colorful PDF of a print of Sicilia, Italy, originally drawn in 1951

Distributed by a print shop in Rome, its original purpose was to exhibit and encourage economic growth in post-war Italy. This map marks important towns and cities with colorful illustrations depicting popular dress, pastimes and cultural customs.

Highlights of this illustrated map include:

  • sunny landscape surrounded by cobalt seascape
  • illustrations of cathedrals, sunbathers, and fishermen
  • ornate compass rose in lower left-hand corner

Perfect for commemorating a trip, for the Italophile, to show off your heritage, or simply to have something beautiful.
