Vintage red car speeds across the frame.Lotteries based on car races were an Italian specialty since the 1920s, and this poster indicates the action was resumed after World War II with little delay. The artist -- son of painter and graphic designer Plino Codognato -- is very adept at conveying the excitement of the race and at integrating letters with the image.
