Talmone Chocolate Eggs — Alberto Bianchi, 1932-33

This charming poster from 1932-33 was created by Alberto Bianchi to promote chocolate Easter eggs from Talmone, one of Italy’s most historic chocolate makers and a name that, for generations of Italians, was inseparable from the joy of Easter morning.

Talmone was founded in Turin in 1850, and quickly became one of Italy’s pioneering chocolate manufacturers — among the first in the country to produce chocolate on an industrial scale. By the 1930s, the brand had built a reputation not only for quality but for the playful, colourful advertising that accompanied its products, with chocolate eggs in particular becoming a beloved seasonal tradition.

Alberto Bianchi worked in the lively tradition of Italian commercial illustration of the period, producing imagery designed to delight as much as to sell — bright colours, joyful compositions and a sense of celebration that suited the festive nature of the product perfectly.

This poster is a wonderful piece of Italian confectionery history, evoking the excitement of Easter in 1930s Italy.
