EDITORS COMMENTS
- Glides the Skies: Commemorating the Opening of a New Air Route Between Italy and France in 1935 This postcard, designed by Matteo Longoni, marks the opening of a new air route between Italy and France in 1935. The 13th year of the Fascist era in Italy had begun in 1922, and this milestone in aviation was a significant achievement for the Italian government. The image on the postcard depicts an aeroplane soaring through the clear blue sky, with the Italian and French flags unfurled from its wings. The folded newspaper at the bottom of the card bears the headline "Stratolino Italiano vola sulle Alpi" (Italian Stratoliner Flies Over the Alps), emphasizing the technological advancement and national pride. The design is a testament to the era's fascination with aviation and the potential it held for bringing people closer together. The use of the phrase "Volo a Vela" (Glides the Skies) adds a poetic touch to the image, evoking a sense of freedom and exploration. Matteo Longoni's striking design was a piece of propaganda, showcasing the Italian government's investment in modern transportation and its commitment to improving connections with neighboring countries. The postcard's vibrant colors and dynamic composition make it a captivating piece of 1930s history. This postcard is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the excitement and optimism surrounding the opening of a new air route between Italy and France during the 13th year of the Fascist era.
