EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in the world of aviation - the first International hang-gliding competition organized by Lega Aerea Nazionale (National Aerial League) on the picturesque Asiago Plateau in October 1924. The poster, with its mid-air scene and vibrant colors, serves as an advertisement for this groundbreaking event. The image showcases a lone hang glider soaring through the clouds against a stunning backdrop of sea and coastline. This remarkable illustration and painting perfectly encapsulates the spirit of adventure and freedom that defined early aviation. With its vertical composition, it draws attention to the bravery and skill required by these pioneers who dared to take flight using only their own strength and ingenuity. The Western script adds a touch of elegance to this piece, reflecting the artistic style prevalent during the 1920s. Located in Trentino's Prealpi Venete region, Asiago Plateau provided an ideal setting for this competition due to its favorable weather conditions and breathtaking landscapes. It served as a testament to Italy's rich history in sports and exploration. As we admire this historical artifact from our past, let us remember those daring individuals who pushed boundaries and defied gravity in pursuit of their dreams. This print is not just an art form but also a glimpse into humanity's relentless desire to conquer new frontiers through innovation and courage.
