1960s Siena Travel Poster, Siena Cathedral Duomo di Siena, Vintage Italian Seinna, Italy travel tourism, holiday vacation, wall art decor This is a charming Italian travel poster from Siena (Sienna) in the Tuscany region & shows the Siena Cathedral (Duomo di Siena) framed in an archway. Dimensions: 28 x 20 in (72 x 50 cm) A travel poster printed in Italy in the 1960s by the Italian State Railways & Tourist Board. Note there is a slight yellow mark in the bottom left, see photos. Siena Cathedral is a medieval church in Siena, Italy & was designed & completed between 1215 & 1263 on the site of an earlier structure. It has the form of a Latin cross with a slightly projecting transept, a dome & a bell tower. The dome rises from a hexagonal base with supporting columns. The dome was completed in 1264. The lantern atop the dome was added by Gian Lorenzo Bernini. The bell tower has six bells, where the oldest one was cast in 1149. Siena is a city in Tuscany, Italy. It is the capital of the province of Siena. The city is historically linked to commercial & banking activities, having been a major banking center until the 13th & 14th centuries. Siena is also home to the oldest bank in the world, which has been operating continuously since 1472. Because of the age of these posters, there are areas of wear & tear, particularly on the edges. I have done my best to take photos where they are torn or stained. The good news is that when framed, the tears press up well against glass, & edges can be hidden by mats. Any wear picked up from years are part of the vintage charm. When framed these colourful & detailed posters, with vibrant colours can become a centre piece for any room, to remind us of a simpler time. These posters are sent as unframed. They will be delivered in a cardboard tube for protection.
