Vintage Olive Oil Chianti Poster — Bertolli, 1951

This evocative 1951 advertising poster was created for Bertolli, one of Italy’s most enduring olive oil brands, celebrating the rich agricultural heritage of Chianti — the rolling hills of Tuscany famed worldwide for both their wine and their olive groves.

Bertolli was founded in 1865 in Lucca, Tuscany, and by the postwar period had become a household name across Italy, synonymous with quality olive oil produced in the heart of the country’s most celebrated olive-growing region. Posters of this era often combined warm, sun-soaked imagery of the Tuscan countryside with confident, modern typography — a visual shorthand for tradition and quality that helped cement Bertolli’s reputation in Italian kitchens for generations.

This piece captures the golden light and timeless landscape of Chianti, evoking the simple pleasures of good food, good oil and good company that define the Italian table.
