lignano amidst blue and gold

An account of one hundred and twenty years of Lignano’s beach resort history, explored through the lens of its tourist imagery and advertising, offers a fresh and revealing perspective on the evolution of one of Italy’s most beloved and visited holiday destinations.

Spanning from the 1910s to the dawn of the new millennium, this volume brings together and contextualises a rich and partly unpublished selection of materials—including photographs, illustrated postcards, advertisements, newspaper articles, posters, sketches, flyers and brochures—sourced from libraries, museums, archives and private collections.

A visual and documentary compendium that traces the city’s transformations over time, reflecting its shifting customs, behaviours, aspirations and cultural trends.
