A striking Italian offset lithographic advertising poster for Campari, produced during the 1970s after Leonetto Cappiello's celebrated Lo Spiritello design of 1921. One of the most recognisable images in the history of advertising, Cappiello's exuberant composition has become synonymous with both the Campari brand and the golden age of European poster art. The design depicts the mischievous figure known as Lo Spiritello ("The Little Spirit"), dressed in a vivid red polka-dot costume and balancing a bottle of Campari while emerging from a dramatic curling orange peel. Set against a deep black background, the brilliant colours and simplified forms create an unforgettable visual impact, perfectly illustrating Cappiello's revolutionary approach to commercial advertising.

This example is a licensed Italian offset lithographic reprint produced during the 1970s by Officine Grafiche Ricordi, Milan, one of Italy's most prestigious printing houses. The printer's credit appears along the lower margin and is consistent with authorised mid-century reproductions issued for decorative display, allowing a new generation to enjoy Cappiello's iconic imagery while preserving the integrity of the original design. Today, Cappiello's Campari posters...
