[Italia] From The Tree Of Italy

Email

This intriguing poster titled “From The Tree Of Italy” was created in the mid-1950s by Lucia Autorino Salemme and issued by The Cultural Division of The Italian Embassy in the United States. English language text gives brief biographical information for dozens of eminent and historically important Italians in all fields including scientists and inventors, medicine, artist, theologians, explorers, philosophers, military leaders and more. All of these great sons and daughters of Italy are represented in small portraits adorning a map of Italy. The additional text makes the case that Italy really is the cradle of the modern world. The lower margin indicates “Litho in the U.S.A. by the Bishop Litho Co., Inc. New York”.

Lucia Autorino Salemme (1919-2010) was an American artist. Her work is included in the collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

    A beautiful large poster map of Italy by Nicola Simbari published in Rome at Salomone by the Italian Ministry for Foreign Trade as advertisement for Italy’s myriad world-class wines, with each region noted for the wine which it produces. Superb colors and lovely vignettes through the map.
    Nicola Simbari (1917-2012) was born in San Lucido, Calabria And grew up in Rome, where his father was an architect for the Vatican. At the age of 13, Nicola enrolled at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Roma and in the 1940s he began devoting himself to painting in a studio at via del Babuino in central Rome. Geometric forms and architectural structures are incorporated in almost all of his work. Using stunning colors and favoring brilliant tones, he paints with a palette knife and achieves great depth with this technique. Simbari’s paintings are full of light and energy. He developed a distinct style which stemmed from his impressions of life, nature and the Mediterranean at an early age.
