Leonetto Cappiello Italian Aperitif Poster, 1907

Created in 1907 by Leonetto Cappiello, this poster promotes Cap Corse Quinquina, the Corsican aperitif produced by L.N. Mattei. It is a quintessential example of why Cappiello became the defining figure of European food and drink advertising: bold color, theatrical gesture, and immediate emotional impact, all delivered with remarkable economy.

Within the European Food & Drink Collection, it functions as a high-energy anchor piece. It works especially well in dining rooms, bar areas, kitchens, or entertaining spaces where you want a sense of vitality without visual clutter. The paper is premium 200gsm matte: museum-quality, substantial in the hand, and chosen because it brings out the richness in the palette.
