This charming mid-century tourism brochure invites travelers to discover Sicily as 'The Golden Island,' featuring a delightful modernist cover illustration of classical Greek figures by the design studio ARTASS. Published by the Sicilian Regional Tourism Authority in Palermo, the brochure opens with Goethe's famous praise of Sicily from his Italian Journey, immediately establishing the island's cultural pedigree.

The cover's stylized interpretation of Greek theatrical and musical traditions, rendered in pink and blue against crisp black linework, captures the era's optimistic approach to travel promotion. Three figures evoke Sicily's classical heritage: a performer with a theatrical mask, another bearing an amphora, and a musician with a lyre, all framed by a Greek key pattern that reinforces the classical theme.

Published by Edizioni Saturnia and printed by SO.GRA.RO., this English-language third edition represents Italy's post-war efforts to attract international visitors to its southern treasures. A delightful piece of travel ephemera that bridges ancient culture and mid-century design sensibility. *Note that this lovely piece can be read, enjoyed and then framed!
