'Napoli e il Golfo'
An exceptionally attractive large-format pictorial panorama of Naples and its gulf, designed by F. E. Ciavatti for the provincial tourist authority. The sweeping bird’s-eye view extends from Ischia and the Phlegraean Fields across Naples and smoking Vesuvius to Pompeii, Sorrento and the Amalfi coast, with Capri in the foreground; roads, railways, towns and distance tables make it both decorative and informative. The reverse forms an integral illustrated tourist guide, with a striking modernist colour cover, photographs and descriptive text. The sheet is undated. Although frequently catalogued as 1950, that date cannot apply to this state: it shows the Monte Faito funivia, opened in 1952, and the Vesuvius seggiovia, opened on 8 July 1953. The reverse still locates the National Picture Gallery in the Museo Nazionale, before its 1957 transfer to Capodimonte. An exact matching copy is catalogued as 1955, the most probable publication year.
