Descriptive Note Text

This black-and-white photo poscard presents a view of the Touring Club Alpine Hotel. Built by the Exposition’s Executive Committee following a proposal by the Club Alpino Italiano (CAI), the Hotel covered an area of 728 square meters. Its façade was 52 meters long. The CTI guide reports that the hotel’s simple and airy architecture was meant to reflect the aesthetics and ways of life of the Italian Alpine regions. In the photo, one can see a young woman who likely played the role of one of the maids in the hotel.
