Toy cars such as the legendary Alfa Romeo and Ferrari models, nautical toys in their many forms, children’s toys, toy weapons, and board games for boys and girls.This is the multifaceted production by Ventura Giocattoli, founded in Treviso in the 1930s out of Angelo Ventura’s passion, and which later expanded from the 1950s onwards in Torno on Lake Como.
This precious volume, featuring nearly six hundred images, traces for the first time the fascinating history of a glorious brand that produced dream toys, now genuine cult items for collectors.
