For anyone who has walked Alberobello's lanes — grey stone cones shoulder to shoulder, a white sun symbol on the nearest roof, red blooms against whitewash and a bell tower over it all. An original vintage-style Italy travel poster illustration of Puglia's trulli town, delivered in a black wood frame and ready to hang the day it arrives — the gift for someone who has been, or is still planning the trip.
The design is drawn flat from a terrace parapet — a terracotta pot of red geraniums at its corner and the hero trullo rising beside it, a cone of grey dry-stone slabs marked with a white sun symbol, a cross above it and a pale pinnacle at its peak. Beyond, dozens more conical roofs step back across the village, several marked with white hearts, to a bell tower and a line of cypresses under a clear blue sky with a few soft clouds. A whitewashed lane runs down the centre past a green door and a wall spilling red and pink blooms beneath an iron lantern, the flagstones lit in bands of sun and shade. ALBEROBELLO sits large across the sky above PUGLIA and ITALIA, the whole worked in sky blue, slate grey, chalk white, warm sandstone, terracotta and olive green. It is printed on 189 g/m² heavyweight matte art paper, 10.3 mil thick — an uncoated stock that keeps the flat colour edges crisp without a hint of glare — and arrives framed in slim black ayous wood behind an acrylite front protector, with the hanging hardware already fitted.

Quick answers
Does it come framed, and in what sizes?
Yes — 12″ × 18″, 18″ × 24″, or 24″ × 36″ portrait, in a black ayous wood frame, 0.75″ (1.9 cm) thick, with an acrylite front protector and the hanging hardware already fitted. It arrives ready to hang.
Which size should I choose?
The 12″ × 18″ works well for desk nooks, hallways, gallery walls, and gifting. The 18″ × 24″ is a versatile choice above a sofa, bed, or console. The 24″ × 36″ creates more impact in living rooms, above larger furniture, or as a statement wall piece.
Is this a reprint of a vintage original?
No. It is an original illustration drawn in the mid-century travel-poster tradition — flat color, clean edges, bold lettering — and a new composition made for RaZits. It is not a scan of a historic print.
Where is Alberobello, and what are the trulli?
Alberobello is a small town in Puglia, the heel of southern Italy, known for its trulli — traditional dry-stone huts with conical limestone roofs built without mortar. Its trulli districts have been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1996, and the white symbols marked on many of the roofs are a long-standing local tradition.
Puglia's conical roofs, one white sun, and a lane of sun and shade.
