Campari famously employed modern artists to design their advertising, including Dudovitch, Cappiello, Nizzoli, and Depero. Depero's official contract with Davide Campari & C., officially began in 1926, though his partnership with the company began as early as 1924. He continued to work for the company until 1937, over the years sketching dozens of designs, only a few of which were realized into posters. Images available upon request.
