This exhibition is about a selection of social communication posters, designed by Albe and Lica Steiner, starting from the reproductions of what Albe defined as “his first poster”, drawn when he was just 11 years old. When he discovered that his uncle Giacomo Matteotti got murdered, he instantly drawn Mussolini’s “Big face” with the quote “abbasso mussolini il gran capo degli assassini” (“down Mussolini, boss of the murders”) written under the face. The exhibition ends with the posters designed by Lica after Albe’s death, their main focus was the woman condition as a measure of courtesy of a society. The attention of the posters is also about international political events, civil rights, the Resistence’s memory, many topics that are common to cultural exhibitions. The visual of each poster takes form from the emergency to communicate important messages about important topics.
