DC - Manifesto politico originale - 1950s

Original Italian political manifesto created for the 1955 Sicilian regional electoral campaign, illustrated and signed by Carmelo Lo Porto and dated 1955.

The work presents a vivid satirical composition: at the center a tree with the trunk bearing the inscription "Autonomia Siciliana", whose fruits represent the island's resources and wealth (Oil, Sulphur, Fishing, Reclamation, Roads, Tourism, Agriculture, etc.). At the base appear two caricatured figures opposed to the symbols of the Christian Democracy – Libertas, with the famous slogan: "DEFEND AUTONOMY, VOTE".

Manifesto of notable graphic and historical impact, testimony to Italian political communication in the 1950s and to the particular season of Sicilian autonomy. The same subject is known on the collectibles market and has also been offered by specialized antiquarians.
