Large painted metal Italian sign, dedicated to the mandatory wearing of gambali or uose (gaiters or spats), with a pictogram of black boots on a light background and a large red border.

Description

Old, large format painted sheet metal safety sign with a clear and highly decorative graphic composition. The upper part features a large red disc surrounding a light medallion, centered on two stylized black boots, treated in solid colors with white linear details.

The lower, rectangular part bears the Italian inscription in black capitals: "E' OBBLIGATORIO L'USO DEI GAMBALI O UOSE" (The use of gaiters or spats is mandatory). The red border, side cutouts, and mounting perforations are part of the sign's original structure.

Several printed mentions are visible in the lower part, including "EDIZIONI E.N.P.I.", "SERIE O N° 8", "La Fotometallografica Cantù" and the regulatory reference "D.P.R. 27-4-55 N° 547". The reverse side has a metallic surface painted in a grey-green shade, with traces of use and old handling marks.

Context

This sign is part of Italian industrial signage from the mid-20th century, related to the prevention of occupational accidents and personal protective equipment. The visible reference to D.P.R. of April 27, 1955, n° 547 refers to Italian standards regarding the prevention of occupational accidents. ([normattiva.it](https://www.normattiva.it/uri-res/N2Ls?urn%3Anir%3Astato%3Adecreto.del.presidente.della.repubblica%3A1955-04-27%3B547%21vig=&utm_source=openai)) The acronym E.N.P.I. corresponds to the Ente Nazionale Prevenzione Infortuni, an Italian organization related to the prevention of occupational accidents.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. Beautiful decorative presence with marked patina of use: scratches, scuffs, small paint losses, wear on the black and red solid areas, as well as visible missing areas in the central light zone. The mounting perforations are present. The whole retains an authentic industrial character and a strong graphic readability.

AFW

Careful packaging adapted to the nature of the object. Professional shipping with reinforced protection to preserve the painted sheet metal during transport.
