Le 19 mappe sono opera dell’illustratore, pittore e scenografo russo naturalizzato italiano Vsevolod Petrovič Nikulin (Nicouline) il quale illustra i territori con un innovativo gusto geo-pittorico disegnando le città principali con il loro edificio più rappresentativo e arricchendo il tutto con personaggi in abiti tipici, punti di interesse così come le peculiarità agricole, commerciali, turistiche ed industriali delle varie aree. Tutte le carte presentano abbellimenti stilistici come grandi rose dei venti and indicare l’orientamento geografico, decorativi velieri nei mari e grandi cartigli con i titoli. L’apparato decorativo è infine completato dalla finitura dei bordi e di molti particolari con la stampa, a sottolineare l’importanza editoriale, di brillanti colori in oro e argento, uno dei primi esperimenti tipografici di questo tipo.

A beautiful large poster map of Italy by Nicola Simbari published in Rome at Salomone by the Italian Ministry for Foreign Trade as advertisement for Italy’s myriad world-class wines, with each region noted for the wine which it produces. Superb colors and lovely vignettes through the map.
Nicola Simbari (1917-2012) was born in San Lucido, Calabria And grew up in Rome, where his father was an architect for the Vatican. At the age of 13, Nicola enrolled at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Roma and in the 1940s he began devoting himself to painting in a studio at via del Babuino in central Rome. Geometric forms and architectural structures are incorporated in almost all of his work. Using stunning colors and favoring brilliant tones, he paints with a palette knife and achieves great depth with this technique. Simbari’s paintings are full of light and energy. He developed a distinct style which stemmed from his impressions of life, nature and the Mediterranean at an early age.- Author: Nicola Simbari

Vsevolod Petrovic Nicouline (1890-1962) was a renowned Russian painter, printmaker, ceramicist, designer and illustrator born in the Ukraine in 1890. For a time he was with the Imperial Academy of Petersburg. His teaching career there was interrupted by the Bolshevik revolution. He was forced to flee and, after a daring journey, arrived in Constantinople accompanied by the Countess Bossalinie Aida who later became his wife. They survived in this city with menial jobs, and were finally able to join relatives in Genoa in 1920 where he held his first exhibition. In 1922 he moved to Nervi, opening a studio at the first Polish residence, meeting other Russian and Polish exiles. His years were rich in relationships, artists, and writers for whom he designed several books and arranged illustrations, commissions of portraits and more. In 1941 he was inaugurated into the Teatro Carlo Felice and designed sets for La Scala and the Metropolitan New York. He was an important illustrator of more than 100 children’s books.- Author: Federico De Agostini / Vsevolod P. Nicouline
