Nizzoli was an architect by training, but was also active in the fields of textile, graphic and industrial design. For years he worked for Olivetti, for whom he designed memorable machines, posters and even buildings. He was a bold artist with a strong sense of composition, and many of his poster designs bear traces of his modernist aesthetic. Italia 56, Travel Italia p. 40.
