Artist: G. Fezzazi Important Added Info: Note that this is an extremely rare pre-World War II Italian poster (we have never before auctioned it; not only that, but we have never before auctioned ANY first release posters from any country)! Virtually no Italian posters survive from before, during, or right after World War II (mostly only pre-war heavy stock lobby cards, and even those are rare). Apparently there were many paper shortages in Italy during World War II, resulting in the destruction of almost all pre-World War II posters! Also note that this Italian two-panel was printed in 2 sections designed to overlap. Condition: good to very good. There are several small tape repairs on the back of the poster and some of that tape has bled through to the front. There is some darkening and small stains on the back of part of one section that was on the outside when the two sections were folded together, but that darkening and small stains do not have much effect on the front (see our image).
