DESIGNER UNKNOWN A TALIEDO. 1931. 27 1/4x78 inches, 69 1/2x198 cm. Tip-Lit La Press, Milan. Condition B+: restored losses, repaired tears, creases, abrasions and overpainting in margins and along vertical and horizontal folds. Two-sheets. Framed. Opened in 1910, Taliedo was Milan's first airport and one of the earliest in Italy. It was built by Giovanni Battista Caproni who also constructed an airplane factory nearby. Its aerodrome was home to airshows in the years before and after the First World War. Emilio Pensuti was an Italian aviation pioneer who died trying to land one of Caproni's prototypes, and in tribute, his name was adopted by the local flying club. The airfield shut down in the 1930s to make way for the larger Linate airport. A small handful of modernist poster designs survive advertising aviation events at the airfield, but this previously unrecorded image is rare .
