Cartello vintage di sicurezza “ALT PERICOLO – Lavori di scavo – È vietato l’ingresso”

Raro cartello di sicurezza industriale italiano risalente alla seconda metà del XX secolo (anni ’60–’70 circa), realizzato in lamiera smaltata con grafica nera su fondo bianco.
Il testo, in carattere tipografico lineare maiuscolo, recita:
“ALT PERICOLO – LAVORI DI SCAVO – È VIETATO L’INGRESSO”, tipico avviso utilizzato nei cantieri stradali e industriali per segnalare aree pericolose o ad accesso limitato.

Il design semplice ma deciso, unito alla tipografia essenziale, riflette l’estetica funzionale dell’epoca, con un chiaro richiamo al modernismo industriale italiano del dopoguerra.

La targa presenta lievi segni del tempo, graffi e piccole ammaccature che ne attestano l’autenticità e il fascino vissuto. È un oggetto ideale per collezionisti di insegne vintage, appassionati di design industriale o arredo in stile loft/retro.

Epoca: circa 1960–1970
Stile: Industriale / Modernismo italiano
Materiale: Lamiera smaltata (acciaio verniciato)
Colore: Bianco con scritta nera
Condizioni: Buone condizioni vintage; presenza di leggeri segni d’uso e piccole tracce di ruggine compatibili con l’età.
Dimensioni: 60 × 40 cm

Un autentico pezzo di segnaletica storica italiana, perfetto come elemento decorativo murale in ambienti industriali, officine, locali, o spazi dal carattere urbano e contemporaneo.
