(D» “Cristoforo Colombo” is the founh of the new liners consiructed in the postwar
period to potentiate the fleet of Italian Line. Like the “Andrea Doria”. she is fumished
in a style hovering in elegance between the splendid and the unobtrusive, enhanced by a
rich selection of works of art
Painters and sculptors have vied with each other in their adormment of the public rooms in
the three classes aboard. and, aided by the painstaking craftmanship of artisans, have prodigated
to produce the innermost treasures of their fantasy. The fascinating theme of the voyage to
the New World inspires many of the works of art aboard the ‘ Cristoforo Colombo”, which ore
to be found in È the public rooms, from the First Class vestibule to the upper decks. and

The main lounge is predominantly Columbian in its decorative theme, with the coat-of-arms
of the Great Explorer reproduced in morquetry in the centre of the aft wall, opposite which
is a black and white tapestry woven by Ponis of Genoa on designs by Enrico Ciuti, symbolizing the
adventurous ocean crossing leading to the discovery of America. Another composition by Ciuti,
inspired by ancient manuscripts, and fired on panels of ash, covers a complete wall of the
adjacent bor, designed by the orchitect Pulitzer.
In the ballroom there are three huge silver-plated copper bas-relies by the sculptor Romano Rui,
which have as their theme the voyage of Marco Polo and constitute a succession of episodes
in miniature, designed with microscopic finesse. From the West to the unknown Orient, the
epic ocean crossing and the most memorable overland joumey of all times are thus harmoniously
commemorated side by side in these three bos-reliefs together with the copper medallion ot
Columbus. Completing: the decor of. the locale are six large mirrors enclosed in original. glass
and enamel frames, reproducing the Italian "Maschere". by Felicita Frai.
The decor of the vast elegant First Closs dining room, designed by Guglielmo Ulrich, is
in predominantly light colors which graciously harmonize with the wall adornments and
furnishings. On the walls are eight cil paintings by Adriano di Spilimbergo. Four are luminous
landscapes and four delightful flower pieces. Another landscape by the same pointer is
admirobly situated in the small private dining room, while in the childrens dining room
Ettore Paganini has executed on illuminated panels a number of impish puppets. supplemented
with a gay painting by Aldo Salvadori.
The four magnificent luxury suites were each designed by a different architect, Aristide Chiavola,
Luigi Carlo Daneri, Carlo Pouchain and Nino Zoncada, and contain paintings by Libero
Verzetti, Renata Cuneo, Giovanni Patrone, Federico Morgante and Oscar Saccarotti, whose
diverse themes heighten the effect of the striking interior decor.
The architect Nino Zoncada also designed the childrens dining rooms in First and Cabin.

The First Class foyer was designed by Carlo Pouchain. Its ceiling. appropriately decorative in
design and coler. is the work of the painter Federico Morgante. In the center panel of the

entrance to the observation lounge ate two original panels in raised copper by Maiocchi.
Noteworthy in this lounge is a bronze statue created by Renata Cuneo and the artistic
Venetian glass panels decorating the walls of the room. Four still life paintings and three
landscapes by Roberto Aloi give a distinctive tone to the First Class reading and writing
rooms, designed by the architects. Alessandri and Gottardi, who also created the observation
lounge and the card room. The paintings in the reading room are effectively. supplemented
by a decorative panel in enamelled copper by Paolo De Poli.
Of singular decorative effect is a large mural painting depicting classic dancers, by Felicita
Frai, occupying the entire aft wall of the Cabin Class ballroom. Ceramics by Toni Furlan
and enamelled bronze decorations by Paolo De Poli are situated in the Cabin Class bar
and card room. This group of public rooms was designed by the architect Matteo Longoni,
as was clso the Cabin Class dining room, whose murals depict the mysteries of marine
depths. where broken amphorae and maimed ancient statuary are exquisitely rendered by
Dino Predonzani. Of praiseworthy mention also in Cabin Class are decorations by Roberto
Aloi in the shop, by Renata Cuneo on the stoircase and by Afro and Leoncillo in the
Swimming Pool Veranda.
The accent on decorative art is not lacking in Tourist Class, where the architect Angelo Crippa
designed the spacious and airy dining room, the foyer and the staircase. Two large murals
by Ugo Rossi decorate the panels of the dining room: one depicting country scenes, the
other representilto a the region of Liguria inzibe days of Columbus.

of art in Tourist Class are the decorations by Lauro Mannucci in the Officers” dining room
and the bas-reliefs in the Captain's and Chief Engineers quarters. created by the sculptor

of Columbus are depicted in the two paintings, one of which shows the Explorers house, the
other, beneath the altar, illustrates the blessing ot the three caravels by the Archbishop of
