It says, "confederaz fasicsta lavor dell'agrivoltura, confederaz fascista agricoltori, unificazione dei contributi in agricultura" or
"fascist agricultural labor confederation, fascist farmers confederation, unification of contributions in agriculture"
In beautiful black lettering on a pale blue background it shows organised labour from a bygone age.

Agrigento is a city on the southern coast of Sicily, Italy and capital of the province of Agrigento. Founded around 582 BC by Greek colonists from Gela, Agrigento, then known as Akragas, was one of the leading cities during the golden age of Ancient Greece.
Agrigento serves as an agricultural centre for the surrounding region. Sulphur and potash were mined locally from Minoan times until the 1970s, and were exported worldwide from the nearby harbour of Porto Empedocle (named after the philosopher Empedocles, who lived in ancient Akragas).
Because of the age of these posters, there are areas of wear and tear, particularly on the edges. I have done my best to take photos where they are torn or stained. The good news is that when framed, the tears press up well against glass, and edges can be hidden by mats. Any wear picked up from years are part of the vintage charm.
These posters are sent as unframed. They will be delivered in a cardboard tube for protection.
