Italian history is iconic, perhaps unparalleled in Europe. For example, the Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore took over 140 years to complete! But that wasn’t because the designers and builders lacked support from the community, from the workforce, and from wealthy individuals who wanted to fund the project. It’s because the design was just a concept at the time, and the technology to complete the domed roof of the cathedral simply did not exist when the cathedral was first conceptualized in 1293. But the Florentines started building it anyway, certain that the technology to complete it would come along soon enough. Available as a poster, print, canvas, mini-canvas, metal sign, or as a set of notecards or postcards, this vintage poster art and retro design is the perfect souvenir or gift for you or the wanderlust-filled traveler in your life.
