This view of Alberobello climbs onto a terrace and looks across the trulli — the nearest grey cone carrying its white sun symbol, dozens more stepping back to a bell tower and cypresses, a whitewashed lane dropping away below with red blooms on the wall and the flagstones striped with sun and shade. An original vintage-style Italy travel poster of Puglia's trulli town under a clear blue sky.
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. Printed to order on heavyweight matte art paper with a smooth, uncoated surface that keeps those hard colour edges crisp and readable from across the room. No glare, no plastic sheen, no photograph: just paper and ink.
- Paper: 189 g/m2 (10.3 mil) heavyweight matte art stock — substantial enough to hang unframed without curling
- Finish: uncoated matte — no glare under lamps, windows or gallery lighting
- Opacity: 94%, so a wall colour or a second sheet behind it never shows through
- Brightness: 104% ISO — a bright white base that keeps the flat colour blocks saturated
- Origin: paper milled in Japan; every poster is printed to order, never warehoused

Quick answers
Which size should I order? The 18″ × 24″ is a versatile choice for most walls. Choose the 12″ × 18″ for a desk, shelf, hallway or gallery wall, and the 24″ × 36″ when you want the artwork to make a bigger statement.
Does it come framed? No — it ships rolled and unframed in a protective tube. All three sizes — 12″ × 18″, 18″ × 24″ and 24″ × 36″ — fit standard US frame sizes, so an off-the-shelf frame is easy to find. A ready-to-hang framed version of this design is listed separately.
Is this a reprint of an old travel poster? 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.
