AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Beautiful Campari sign for sale, in iron, enamelled, red color with white lettering.
Size 80x40x1.6 cm
Weight 3 kg
Shows some small signs that testify to the passage of time and give it more charm.
Bitter Campari was born in 1860 by Gaspare Campari. He designed and produced in 1850 in Novara several liqueurs. Among these there was a bitter herb liqueur that he perfected for several years until, in 1860, he began to produce and distribute it in a Novara establishment, the "Caffè dell'Amicizia." Campari moved to Milan in 1862 and in 1867 opened the "Caffè Campari" in the Vittorio Emanuele II gallery. The venue soon attracted well-known artists and high-society people, becoming a fashionable place. In 1915, Gaspare's son, Davide Campari, opened a smaller venue at the opposite corner of the gallery. Here he began to offer his products as aperitifs (instead of digestives, as was customary at the time).
This enamelled iron sign to hang on the wall is excellent as a modernist retro, vintage, antiques decor object.
I'm not an expert in enamelled iron signage and I can't judge whether it's original or not; I only know that it's very beautiful and looks very old.
