🏰 Anisetto Alberti

Leonetto Cappiello’s Green Knight of Benevento, 1906

A Poster So Bold, It Could Stop a Lance in Mid-Air—and Start a Toast in Its Place

🎨 Visual Description – Gallantry Goes Tipsy

A knight in radiant emerald-green plate armour—helmet closed, plume fluttering—sits merrily in a slouched, celebratory sprawl upon the grass. His left gauntlet clasps a bottle of Anisetto Alberti, already uncorked. His right hand? Resting lightly on a scarlet-handled broadsword, now idle and irrelevant.

Draped across his shoulders, a swath of luscious magenta and crimson cloak tumbles to the earth like a discarded vow of chastity. The knight’s posture is heroic—if that hero had just won a joust against sobriety.

Behind him, a deep navy background plunges the entire scene into theatrical contrast. And beneath it all, in triumphant, sun-yellow block type:

ANISETTO ALBERTI
Ditta G. Alberti – Benevento

The colours, the pose, the juxtaposition—it’s all utterly irresistible. A visual sonnet to the joy of indulgence.
