Original Campari Soda Poster, by Piatti 1950

Celestino Piatti was a Swiss graphic artist, painter and designer. In 1961, Piatti became the designer for the newly founded DTV Munich, designing almost all of DTV's publications, a total of more than 6,300 titles. In addition to posters and books, his works also included stamps for the Swiss post office, lithographs, woodcuts and linocuts, stained glass, murals and other paintings, ceramics and sculptures. A motif that runs through his entire work, is the owl, as a messenger of good luck or misfortune, or as a symbol of wisdom.
