This Alitalia Intercontinental Network poster is a mid-20th-century airline route map showcasing the Italian carrier’s global reach. Likely produced in the 1960s or early 1970s, it presents a beautifully detailed relief map of the world with Alitalia’s red route lines radiating from Rome to destinations across Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Americas. Insets in the lower left display Alitalia’s European and domestic routes, emphasising the airline’s extensive network. Printed in vivid blues and earthy tones, this poster combines cartographic precision with travel-era glamour, celebrating Alitalia’s role as Italy’s flag carrier during the golden age of air travel.
