arguably one of the most important (if perhaps less recognised) nations when it comes to the ‘modernism’ movement in graphic design during the 20th century is italy, better known examples are probably, the work of ‘max huber’ for such clients as ‘pirelli’ and ‘borsalino’ amongst others
another less well-known example is the short-lived late 50s/early 60s design magazine ‘stile industria’ whose covers bear an unmistakeably modernist, eclectic style from such names as ‘max huber’, ‘bruno munari’, (dutchman) ‘bob noorda’ and ‘enzo mari’… see this great collection of the resulting covers…
