Product description
This canvas print dedicated to the Arch of Peace in Milan depicts the triumphant entry of the French and Piedmontese armies during the Second Italian War of Independence in 1859, one of the most symbolic moments of the Italian Risorgimento. In the foreground ride Victor Emmanuel II and Napoleon III, the leaders of the alliance that helped pave the way for the unification of Italy.
The artwork celebrates one of Milan's most iconic landmarks: the Arch of Peace, located at the entrance to Parco Sempione. Originally commissioned in 1807 to commemorate Napoleon's victories and completed during Austrian rule, the monument became a symbol of Milan's liberation and Italian unification in 1859. Italian and French flags, marching military columns and the imposing neoclassical architecture create a striking composition that brings together Italian history, Risorgimento history and historical art.
The canvas captures the solemn atmosphere of Risorgimento-era Milan, transforming a pivotal historical event into a decorative artwork with strong cultural and national significance.
Ideal for enthusiasts of Italian history, the Italian Risorgimento, Milan landmarks and historical wall art, this canvas print preserves a memorable chapter of Milan's past and the story of Italy's national identity.

Our Mission
Our project is a playful‑cultural experience designed for anyone who wants to live history in a new way:
from teenagers, who can approach the great events of the past in an engaging and enjoyable manner, to enthusiasts who wish to enrich their homes with artistic canvases capable of elegantly telling the stories and protagonists of our nation’s past.
The characters we portray are not simply figures from history: they are the roots of our identity, the voices that shaped our culture, our way of thinking, and even the places we inhabit.
Beyond visual impact, we want to restore the pleasure of touch: not only through the natural texture of cotton, but also through the tactile depth and glossy highlights achieved during printing — details that add dimension and a uniquely sensory feel.
In an age dominated by digital screens, our canvases invite you to rediscover an authentic, physical, and sensorial experience.
It is a product that blends quality and culture — but above all, it is an invitation to rediscover the pride of belonging to an extraordinary history.
Because being Italian means carrying with us a heritage that deserves to be celebrated.
Where are our products made?
Our products are entirely made in Italy, within the Over S.r.l. facility — a company active in the cardboard sector since 1978.
In 2025, a production department dedicated to digital printing for visual communication was introduced, allowing us to combine industrial expertise and aesthetic research within a single production space.
Every stage of the process takes place in‑house: from design to printing, from production to packaging, all the way to shipping. Everything is managed in our warehouse, giving us direct control over quality, materials, and timing.
IBAM is a registered trademark of Over Srl: a choice that ensures 100% Italian production, a short supply chain, and high quality standards.
For us, ‘Made in Italy’ is not a label — it is a concrete process, followed step by step.
What materials do we use for our products?
We place great importance on the quality of our canvas prints, made from 100% cotton — plastic‑free and naturally eco‑friendly.
We use GREENGUARD Gold‑certified inks, which ensure vibrant colors and exceptional long‑term stability, enhancing every historical and iconographic detail.
Likewise, for our cat beds we use corrugated cardboard, a fully eco‑sustainable material thanks to its recyclable nature.
A choice that combines environmental respect, functionality, and care for our four‑legged friends.
Difference between Textured Finish and Flat Finish
The textured finish allows for extremely realistic reproductions, adding depth and three‑dimensionality to the image.
Thanks to the use of up to nine layers of matte and glossy UV varnish, it creates a raised effect that simulates real brushstrokes and enhances the most distinctive details of the illustration.
High‑definition flat illustrations, on the other hand, use a single layer of matte UV varnish: they have no relief, but ensure vibrant, stable colors that remain resistant over time and to sunlight.
