Beautiful Postcards Designed by Tito Corbella in the 1920s

Tito Corbella (1885–1966) was an Italian painter renowned primarily as a postcard designer, although he also excelled in poster art. Born in Pontremoli, within the province of Massa Carrara, he initially pursued a degree in chemistry at the University of Padua. His artistic journey continued at the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice, where he studied under Guglielmo Ciardi and Ettore Tito.

While Corbella did engage in painting, his main focus was on illustration and poster design. His career spanned various domains, including advertising and work for Ricordi in Milan, as well as the film industry in Rome, where he eventually passed away in 1966. Corbella’s postcards, celebrated for their portrayals of elegant women and romantic couples, captured the essence of the era.
