Campari’s advertising campaigns have spanned the 20th century, embracing great Italian designers
throughout each distinct artistic era. Amongst the best of which are classic Art Nouveau images by
Adolfo Hohenstein and Marcello Dudovitch, Art Deco work by Nizzoli, a Futurist treatment by
Depero and indelible images by Leonetto Cappiello. Over the years Campari has also worked with tal-
ented, anonymous artists, such as the designer of this infectious photo-collage of a jovial, red-cheeked
man raising a glass for a toast.
