This striking poster was originally created by Federico Seneca in the 1920s for the Coppa della Perugina, a motor race organized by the Auto Moto Club of Perugia. The bold, Futurist-inspired design—with its sense of speed and modernity—was ahead of its time and quickly became one of Seneca’s most recognized works.
In the 1950s, the original printers issued this large-format reprint as a tribute to earlier Italian racing posters. These were distributed as gifts, preserving the impact of Seneca’s iconic image for a new generation.
Federico Seneca (1891–1976) was one of Italy’s foremost graphic designers of the early 20th century. Best known for his work with Perugina, including the famous Baci campaigns, Seneca combined Futurist dynamism with Art Deco clarity. His strong visual language made him a leading figure in Italian poster art, and his works are held in major collections and museums.

Cognac Monnet – Leonetto Cappiello (1927)
Bold, joyful, and instantly iconic, Cognac Monnet is one of Leonetto Cappiello’s most celebrated posters. Created in 1927, this vibrant image features a radiant woman with fiery red hair, lifting a glass of cognac that glows like the sun itself—a perfect expression of Cappiello’s famous tagline: “du soleil dans un verre” (“sunshine in a glass”).
Cappiello, often called the father of modern advertising, revolutionized poster design in the early 20th century with his use of vivid color, dramatic figures, and playful surrealism. With Cognac Monnet, he strips away clutter to focus entirely on a single, memorable image—an approach that still influences advertising today.
This original lithograph captures the energy and optimism of the Art Deco era. It remains a favorite among collectors for both its aesthetic power and its cultural significance as one of the great masterpieces of vintage liquor advertising.
