Description from the seller
**RESERVE PRICE €50**
Original Italian election propaganda poster, printed in April 1958 for the National Confederation of Direct Farmers, in support of the Christian Democracy party.
A significant example of postwar Italian political communication, characterized by striking visual design and an openly anti-communist message.
Historical context
The poster was produced for the Italian general election of May 25, 1958, during the Cold War. Its reference to Hungarian farmers and workers alludes to the 1956 Budapest Revolution, suppressed by Soviet military intervention, an event widely used in the anti-communist propaganda of the time.
Museum references
A copy of the same poster is held at the Salce Collection National Museum in Treviso, an important institution dedicated to the history of advertising posters and visual communication.
