Description:
"As Vittorio notes in the Modern Poster: ‘In Italy in the last century operas were the beneficiaries of poster advertising. They were usually ornamented with rococo decoration and sometimes engravings representing the principal characters.’ Furthermore it is by means of the opera poster that we can follow the evolution of the beginnings of advertising art in Italy…While the artistic poster was dying in France, in Italy new talents, ‘like strong children who have suckled good milk and then overpowered their nurses’ (as Crauzat exclaims a little emphatically in L’Estampe et L’Affiche), surpassed their Parisian masters" (Weill, p.84)
