Wings of Italy is born out of the desire to offer the American people an outstanding and exhaustive view of the Italian aviation, retracing its fundamental steps from its beginnings to its multiple international accomplishments during the first half of the twentieth century. The exhibition, located in the lobby of Chicago's Willis Tower, will take visitors through a survey of original vintage posters realized by famous Italian artists such as Ambrosi, Boccasile, Dudovich, Manlio, Codognato Mastroianni, Mazza, Munari, Sironi and Wildt. These posters were designed in conjunction with major long-haul flights and aeronautical expositions of the 1930s. Such precious and unique masterpieces are accompanied by ancient photographs and original documents, which offer direct and lively evidence of flight's progressive affirmation and successes in the Italian society.
