If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that this is an extremely rare poster. We have never auctioned one in all our years of auctioning! Also note that Italian posters from the first few years after World War II are among the most rare posters there are, and they were almost all not the standard Italian sizes that became standard in the late 1940s (the 39x55 one-panel, the 55x78 two-panel, etc). These are likely so rare because there were still major paper shortages in Italy right after World War II, and few posters were printed, and most were recycled. This is an extremely rare first release Italian poster from 1947. Note also that this Italian poster was printed in 2 sections designed to overlap. Also note that the theater that used this poster taped the pieces together before putting them on display (this is typical of many actual theater-used posters in multiple pieces).

Condition: good to very good. The theater that used this poster taped the pieces together before putting them on display (this is typical of many actual theater-used posters in multiple pieces).
