Alfred Eisenstaedt :: This image ran with the following caption: “Garish advertising signs are faithful copies of US huckstering. These signs partially obscuring Milan Cathedral, advertise a motor oil (top) and two U.S. movies. Middle one feature Abbott and Costello, whom Italians call Cianni e Pinotto. Posters like this emphasize commercial activity of Milan, which is the shopping center of Italy.”
