Ventimiglia “Battaglia di Fiori” Festival Poster (1957) – HD Aluminum
A radiant piece of mid-century Italian festival art, this 1957 Ventimiglia poster celebrates the XIX Battaglia di Fiori (Battle of Flowers), a beloved annual tradition in the Ligurian town of Ventimiglia, near the Italian-French border. The Battaglia di Fiori, dating back to the late 19th century, is an extravagant flower parade where floats, costumes, and lively performances flood the streets in honor of summer’s arrival.
This design bursts with Mediterranean charm, featuring a smiling flower girl adorned with blossoms, embodying the spirit of joy, color, and romance that defines the festival. The bold red typography, playful illustration style, and vintage Italian poster aesthetics make this a stunning artifact of 1950s cultural celebrations. Restored and printed on sleek HD aluminum, it’s a timeless addition to collections of Italian travel posters, festival art, or mid-century wall décor.
