An Italian lithographed tin box intended for the sale of pure licorice, decorated with a central medallion depicting the Bargello of Florence, surrounded by a polychrome heraldic cartouche. The design blends Italian tourist iconography, classic serif typography, and a lateral geometric frieze typical of Italian food products from the interwar period. The mention of the Italian distributor, the streamlined graphic style, and the absence of modern conventions clearly place this product after 1920 and before the postwar era, within the context of an export product or a gastronomic souvenir.
