Poma, 13 - Milano Materials and Techniques: Colour lithograph on paper Linen backing: Yes Condition: A (Designates a poster in very good condition. Colours are fresh and there are no or very few paper losses. If there are imperfections they are marginal and imperceptible). Additional Details: Antonio Benedetto Carpano is a famous liquorist from Turin who invented, in 1786, the recipe for vermouth, the quintessential Italian aperitif made from wine and 30 varieties of spices and herbs. This recipe has been preserved to this day, and only a very limited quantity of this rosso vermouth, now known as Carpano Antica Formula, is still produced by the Branca group in Italy. It comes in an old-fashioned, blown glass bottle, individually numbered. The poster depicts Napoleon Bonaparte having a toast with the Carpano mascot, glass in hand. Several posters of the same kind exist, with different iconic leaders from different countries. Armando Testa was an Italian graphic designer, designer, animator and painter. Born in Turin, Testa worked as a typographer until 20 years old. He was initiated into the artistic career by the abstract painter Ezio D'Errico, who was one of his teachers at the Vigliardi-Paravia printing school he attended.
