About

An affectionate, slightly skeptical look at Italy.

Italy is singular in several ways. The food, the sea, the cities — but also the habits, contradictions, and quiet rituals that never make it onto a postcard.

Each poster takes a single, very specific idea and gives it the treatment usually reserved for something more serious. The tone sits deliberately between two eras: the geometric confidence of mid-century Italian graphic design, and the wry, unsentimental humor of the country today.

Everything is designed and printed with the hurry of a small Italian village — which is to say, none at all. We release one idea at a time, when it is ready, rather than on a schedule. For now there is a single poster; more will follow.

Each release is available as a full-resolution digital file for a small donation, or as a printed poster sent to your door: get in touch from the poster’s page to arrange either.

Italian Ways is a project by Jack Salici.
