A brilliant mid-century Italian advertising poster by Armando Testa for Punt e Mes vermouth. Giuseppe Verdi, dressed characteristically in black and a top hat, raises a glass alongside the colourful crowned “King of Vermouth.” Created as a playful toast to the celebrated Italian composer, the design is unmistakably Testa — bold, witty and beautifully economical in its use of colour and form.
