Riccobaldi studied drawing, painting and set design. He supported himself selling illustrations to books and magazines, and ultimately began designing movie posters. From 1927 on, he mostly designed travel posters, but his advertisements for various products, companies and events remain his most creative and daring work. Using extensive Cubist-Futuristic influences, Riccobaldi designed a handful of spectacular posters like this one.
