Design of a commemorative poster for Croce Rossa Italiana — Comitato di Settimo Torinese, created for their participation with historic vehicles in a historical re-enactment event in Settimo Torinese. The project combined archival photography and a editorial graphic language to connect the organisation's century-long legacy with a contemporary audience — delivered in print-ready format for large-format display.


Creative Process

The Comitato di Settimo Torinese has been active in the local community since 1974 — and that rootedness became the conceptual core of the poster. The Croce Rossa's historic vehicles are more than operational assets; they are physical markers of a presence that has accompanied the city through decades of change. The design draws on archival photography and film strip imagery to anchor that continuity, translating fifty years of local history into a single, immediate visual. The result moves away from generic institutional communication toward something more personal and documentary — designed to resonate with the community it has always served.
