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 features an image of a group of people stranding atop the Italian flag with a red semi cricle above them. Black text above the image reads "With the socialists the workers rule the renewal of the country" with the title "1st May", referring to May Day, the international day of the worker. This poster was possibly used to promote the PSI ahead of May Day celebrations in 1985. The PSI logo is at the top of the poster.
