Vintage Framed Etching of Bologna - Le due Torri

This item is a vintage framed print or etching depicting the 'Two Towers' (Asinelli and Garisenda) in Bologna, Italy. The artwork is rendered in a monochromatic sepia or brownish-gold ink on a cream-colored paper or metallic-finish board, a style often associated with mid-to-late 20th-century Italian souvenirs. Centered in the composition are the iconic medieval leaning towers, flanked by the dome and bell tower of a nearby church, likely the Basilica of San Petronio or San Bartolomeo. The title 'Bologna - Le due Torri' is inscribed in a cursive script at the bottom center. The piece is housed in a decorative stepped frame featuring a black gloss finish with recessed gold gilding and a gold-tone outer lip. The construction suggests a mass-produced but high-quality decorative piece from the 1960s or 1970s. The condition appears fair to good: the frame shows minor abrasions and edge wear, particularly on the gold gilding, while the artwork itself remains well-preserved behind glass. There are no visible signatures from a specific artist, indicating it may be a commercial graphic work. The use of hatching and cross-hatching to create architectural depth demonstrates competent draftsmanship prevalent in European souvenir art of that era.
