A comprehensive look at Italian poster design, from vintage to modern posters (1895 - 1971) designed by numerous designers and artists. I have included individual biographies of the artists, where found.
This is part 8 of an 11 part series on Italian Poster Design:
Filippo Romoli (1901 Savona -1969) was one of the most important Italian poster designers of the 20th century, and is universally recognised as one of the country’s masters of commercial art. He created travel posters for Genoa’s Società Industrie Grafiche Barabino & Graeve, tending first towards Art Deco style and later embracing the expressivity of Futurism and Novecento Italiano.

Gino Mingozzi was a Bolognese graphic artist of great importance, who in addition to creating anumber of highly original posters, founded the ATLA advertising agency, a firm that produced a remarkable number of posters during the 1920 and '30s." The most famous name in hats in Italy has always been Borsalino. Its largest competitor was a company called Barbisio, located in near Sagliano Mica, a small village about 20 minutes north of Biella, where the finest woollen mills produce the most luxurious woven cloth in the world. Barbisio fell on hard times during the 1980s, and by decade's end had to liquidate its equipment and close its factory.

Giuseppe Riccobaldi (1887 Florence -1976 Genoa) created in 1928 what is universally considered his masterpiece: a famous poster with two elegant sedans in the night, climbing over a great ramp held up by Fiat logos. Riccobaldi – who also worked as set designer and book illustrator – had a long career in commercial art. Starting in the 1920s, he was the talent behind many successful images advertising touristic sites and the products of major companies, including Pirelli, Magneti Marelli, Ansaldo, Martini and Cinzano. His Futurism-infused work also won over a number of shipping companies: Lloyd Triestino, Sidarma, Cosulich, Lloyd Sabaudo, San Marco, and Navigazione Generale Italiana entrusted him with various campaigns.
