Natale di Roma 0000-0250

To celebrate the day on which Rome was legendarily founded, the local International Artists Association is sponsoring a grand parade on the Palatine-one of the original seven ancient hills of the city. A naked Pan uses a set of odd-looking pipes to summon the populace to this celebration in high old style. Plans call for sacrifices to the rustic goddess Pale (one can only wonder what sacrifices might be-in Roman times, flocks were driven through blazing straw in a ritual invocation to purity and prosperity), the songs followed by gymnastic games in the Coliseum at the foot of the hill. Under the golden-bronze figure in its curlicued circle of black and gold, the type--in two shades of orange on a brick-red ground-takes up about half of this four-sheet poster. An utterly spectacular design from the artist who introduced Art Nouveau to Italy and who has been termed the first authentic Italian posterist (Menegazzi-I, p. 222).
