This one is drawn from high beside a crenellated stone tower, looking across to the keep and down over the harbour walls, the terracotta roofs and a speedboat cutting a wake through the turquoise. An original vintage-style Lake Garda poster of Sirmione, drawn flat and printed to order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe design is drawn flat — a crenellated stone tower with swallowtail merlons rising up the left edge, its lower wall and a small arched gate stepping down to the water, with the Scaliger Castle and the terracotta-roofed old town of Sirmione on the peninsula beyond, small boats at the quay, a white speedboat trailing a wake at bottom right, and blue mountains under cumulus clouds on the horizon. The lettering sits against the sky: SIRMIONE in cream capitals above ITALIA between two thin gold rules, with LAGO DI GARDA • ITALIA beneath in navy. The palette is worked in turquoise, sky blue, cream, sand beige, terracotta and navy. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePaper:\u003c\/strong\u003e 189 g\/m\u003csup\u003e2\u003c\/sup\u003e (10.3 mil) heavyweight matte art stock — substantial enough to hang unframed without curling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e uncoated matte — no glare under lamps, windows or gallery lighting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOpacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 94%, so a wall colour or a second sheet behind it never shows through\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrightness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 104% ISO — a bright white base that keeps the flat colour blocks saturated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e paper milled in Japan; every poster is printed to order, never warehoused\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSize chart\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 99.9194%; height: 58.7682px;\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5894px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"width: 21.2929%; height: 19.5894px;\"\u003eFramed size\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"width: 28.8375%; height: 19.5894px;\"\u003eArt panel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"width: 46.6982%; height: 19.5894px;\"\u003eWorks well\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5894px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 21.2929%; height: 19.5894px;\"\u003e14\" × 14\" framed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 28.8375%; height: 19.5894px;\"\u003e14 × 14 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 46.6982%; height: 19.5894px;\"\u003edesk nooks, hallways, gallery walls, small spaces, gifting\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5894px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 21.2929%; height: 19.5894px;\"\u003e16\" × 16\" framed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 28.8375%; height: 19.5894px;\"\u003e16 × 16 in (fills the frame)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 46.6982%; height: 19.5894px;\"\u003eabove a sofa, a bed head or a console\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 21.2929%;\"\u003e18\" × 18\" framed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 28.8375%;\"\u003e18 × 18 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 46.6982%;\"\u003eabove a sofa, bed, or console, living rooms, statement walls\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eThe illustration is a square panel centred on the sheet with a clean margin above and below, so it sits well in an off-the-shelf frame with or without a mat.

The Scaliger family of Verona began building it in the 13th century, and its fortified harbour is a rare surviving example of a medieval lake port defence; visitors can climb the main tower for the view over the peninsula and the lake.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eSirmione's Scaliger Castle from high up, drawn flat, printed to order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"RaZits","offers":[{"title":"14″×14″","offer_id":43225184239687,"sku":"9398761_6240","price":44.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"16″×16″","offer_id":43225184272455,"sku":"9398761_4465","price":46.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18″×18″","offer_id":43225184305223,"sku":"9398761_6242","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0081\/0332\/9863\/files\/enhanced-matte-paper-poster-_in_-14x14-transparent-6aaa7656b263f.jpg?v=1789556327","url":"https:\/\/razits.com\/products\/sirmione-lake-garda-poster-vintage-castle-travel-art","provider":"RaZits","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
