Campari Soda was created by Carlo Fisanotti in 1948 and printed by Gros Monti, Torino. Issued in the years following World War II, the design reflects the early wave of Italian modernism that would come to dominate the 1950s in art, advertising, furniture, and automotive styling. Fisanotti’s composition is minimal yet striking, presenting the iconic Campari Soda bottle in a bold, graphic treatment that was ahead of its time for postwar commercial design.

CESENATICO – Giovanni Guerrini – 1927 – Original Italian travel poster
Original Italian travel poster designed by Giovanni Guerrini in 1927 promoting Cesenatico, the historic Adriatic resort and fishing port on Italy’s Emilia-Romagna coast, just north of Rimini. Guerrini’s bold and highly graphic composition uses striking color and simplified forms to capture the maritime character of this fashionable Italian seaside destination.
Cesenatico is particularly celebrated for its historic canal harbor, the Porto Canale, whose development is closely associated with drawings and surveys made by Leonardo da Vinci during his visit in 1502. The canal runs directly through the heart of the old town and remains one of Cesenatico’s defining landmarks. During the early 20th century, the traditional fishing port increasingly developed into a popular Adriatic beach resort, making it an ideal subject for the new generation of Italian tourism posters.
Printed in Rome by Novissima, this colorful and rarely encountered poster is an outstanding example of Italian travel advertising from the 1920s.
