About the Digital Collection

This collection includes Italian cultural and political posters mostly dating from the 1970s-1980s and received from Peter Lange and Martha Scotford. Nearly half of the posters were printed by the Italian Communist Party (PCI) offices in Milan and Rome and address themes such as labor issues, voting rights, and political corruption. Other posters in the collection advertise art exhibits, celebrations, and civic events held throughout Italy, chiefly in Milan and Urbino.
