Marcello Nizzoli (1887-1969) was an Italian illustrator, industrial designer and architect. Nizzoli created many large scale and Art Deco styled posters for the Campari company. Nizzoli was also the chief designer for Olivetti in the 1930s and was responsible for designing the iconic Lettera 22 portable typewriters in 1950. Nizzoli’s design style can be characterized as a combination of organic form and functional machine production intended for mass production.
