talco paglieri

Italian advertising poster by Gino Boccasile for Paglieri, the historic Alessandria perfume and cosmetics company. Paglieri is best known for its Felce Azzurra line (introduced in the 1920s), including eau de cologne and perfumed talc. Boccasile created a series of small-format advertising images for Paglieri in the late 1940s–early 1950s, often promoting the company’s talc products. This piece belongs to that group and reflects Boccasile’s distinctive postwar style.
