Additional Information
Created around 1935 by the Florentine artist Ruggero Alfredo Michahelles, this travel poster poses Goethe's famous question about Italy, the land where the lemons bloom. Branches heavy with ripe fruit frame a Greek temple that rises above a bright blue southern coast.
The line comes from Goethe, whose Mignon sings of a warm country of lemon groves and soft light. That longing made the south a dream for northern visitors, and the national tourist office leaned on it to draw them in.
Michahelles, who signed his work RAM, was a leading Futurist and the brother of the designer Thayaht. He assembled this scene as a collage, layering real photographs into a crisp, modern composition that turned an old poem into something fresh and immediate.
Today this artwork stands as a testament to the golden age of travel and offers a window into the romance that drew the world toward Italy, where poetry, ruins, and calm seas met. Its bold palette makes a prized addition to a study, kitchen, or sunlit hall.
