Rome, Venice, Pompeii, Milan and Florence – Carlo Cussetti, 1900
Original 1900 Italian travel poster designed by Carlo Cussetti and printed at the Ateliers Hugo D’Alesi in Paris. This poster was created for the French public to promote travel to Italy, presenting finely detailed vignettes of Rome, Venice, Pompeii, Milan, and Florence around a central panoramic view of Rome. Cussetti, active at the turn of the century, captured the cultural prestige of Italy at a moment when tourism was being encouraged through large-scale advertising lithographs.
This example is in excellent condition, professionally backed on linen. The colors remain rich and the imagery sharp, a testament to the quality of early 20th-century French lithographic printing. Posters of this type produced by Hugo D’Alesi’s atelier are valued for both their artistic merit and their role in shaping the visual culture of European travel.

Milton Glaser produced several versions of this poster for Campari, utilizing both artistic screen printing (serigraphy) and traditional paper. This 1992 edition is considered rare. The two versions include a signed serigraph on Arches paper and an unsigned version on standard paper; while both employ serigraph printing techniques, they share a similar visual aesthetic.
Milton Glaser, one of the most influential graphic designers of the 20th century, used bold colors, fluid shapes, and timeless imagery. His work included the I ❤ NY logo and the psychedelic Bob Dylan poster. Campari, known for collaborating with renowned artists, continued this tradition with Glaser’s striking advertisement.
Since its founding in 1860, Campari has shaped its visual identity through commissions from artists across styles, from Art Nouveau to modern design. Glaser’s Campari poster, with its vivid colors and stylized composition, reflects the brand’s playful yet sophisticated spirit.
The poster came in two versions: one on standard paper and another on high-quality Arches paper, often used for fine art prints. Glaser hand-signed the Arches edition, making it especially valuable to collectors. This collaboration between an iconic artist and a legendary brand remains a celebrated piece of graphic design and advertising history.
