Vintage Italian Poster Art was closely associated with the opera in its development. Milan's Ricordi publishing firm main business was publishing scores by Verdi and Puccini, but also employed designers to create posters advertising operatic productions at La Scala and other opera houses. In 1889, Ricordi hired Adolfo Hohenstein, who had been born in Russia of German parents, to head its team of designers. After 1895, Ricordi expanded its design accounts, taking on clients such as Campari, Buitoni, and the Mele department store. Designers who worked under Hohenstein at Ricordi included Marcello Dudovich, Achille Mauzan, and Leopoldo Metlicovitz. Dudovich and Metlicovitz came from Trieste, which had been part of the Austro-Hungarian empire and only came under Italian control after the First World War. Leonetto Cappiello, the most reknowned Italian poster designer, did some work for Ricordi clients, but worked most of his career in Paris. Following WWI, Italian poster designers were influenced by Futurism, the Novecento art movement, and Art Deco. Some of the more prominent of these artists included Gino Boccasile, Marcello Nizzoli, and Giuseppe Riccobaldi.
