Description
This poster is part of a collection of 100 posters designed by Ettore Vitale for the Italian Socialist Party (PSI) between 1973 and 1991. The posters promote a range of events and campaigns using the colours of the Italian flag- red, white, and green, along with motifs of roses, rainbows, and stars. This poster has blue, green, and orange strips across it, with large white text reading "Fare bene il bene comune" (English: Doing the common good well). The PSI logo is in the bottom right corner next to a paragraph of text reading "Fare Bene il bene comune / Consolidare ed estendere l'autonomia delle istituzioni regionali e locali. / Rendere piu' efficienti i servizi. Vivere in citta e paesi piu' umani, moderni, puliti, sicuri. / Lavorare per un futuro di progresso e di rinnovamento al servizio dei cittadini, in un'italia che cambia e vuole progredire nella liberta e nella giustizia sociale" (English: Consolidate and extend the autonomy of regional and local institutions. / Making services more efficient. Living in cities and towns that are more humane, modern, clean, safe. / Working for a future of progress and renewal at the service of citizens, in an Italy that changes and wants to progress in freedom and social justice).
