Alitalia (1992), España

No hay duda de que al igual que en este folleto de Icelandair del mismo año, la presencia de Colón en este horario de Alitalia no es nada casual. Era el año del V centenario y parece ser que todos los países europeos querían reinvindicar su partipación de alguna manera, en este caso al parecer recordando la italianidad del personaje :)

1992 was the year when Spain celebrated that 500 years ago the Americas were officialy "discovered" by European explorers. It seems that every European country was eager to take part in the celebrations. Just like this Icelandair 1992 timetable, it is certainly not by chance that Christopher Columbus appears on the cover of this Alitalia timetable, probably claiming its Italian origins :)
