Riccardo Manzi and his series of illustrations for Pirelli trade advertisements and house organ Rivista Pirelli have amused and bemused me for a while. Little biographical information is to be found about him, my research gleaning these sparse facts: born 1913; a member of the Alliance Graphique Internationale and artist for Pirelli. I’ll have to let his images speak for themselves, which they do in volumes.

Nice stuff. I don’t believe I’ve seen any of these before. Thanks for sharing. You should do a post about great advertising and promotional work done for the tire industry over the years. There has been quite a lot.
