Arlecchino (Harelquin), the youngest characters of the Commedia dell'Arte is up to his usual tricks in this c1920 advertisement commissioned by the Societa Italiana Vini Superiori (Italian Society of Superior Wines) for the Dionis brand of sparkling white wine, or Spumante as it is known in Italian. Plinio Codognato (1878-1940) is revered as one of the most important Italian graphic artists of the Twentieth Century. Tall praise, to be sure, but it is well deserved. Codognato created groundbreaking visuals for everything from auto-related brands like Fiat and Pirelli to Campari and Cinzano. He represented many of the most important Italian products.
