Talmone Chocolate Eggs Alberto Bianchi 1932 33

Talmone Chocolate Eggs — Alberto Bianchi, 1932-33 This charming poster from 1932-33 was created by Alberto Bianchi to promote chocolate Easter eggs from Talmone, one of Italy’s most historic chocolate makers and a name that, for generations of Italians, was inseparable from the joy of Easter morning. Talmone was founded in Turin in 1850, and quickly became one of Italy’s pioneering chocolate manufacturers — among the first in the country to produce chocolate on an industrial scale. By the 1930s, the brand had built a reputation not only for quality but for the playful, colourful advertising that accompanied its products, with chocolate eggs in particular becoming a beloved seasonal tradition. Alberto Bianchi worked in the lively tradition of Italian commercial illustration of the period, producing imagery designed to delight as much as to sell — bright colours, joyful compositions and a sense of celebration that suited the festive nature of the product perfectly. This poster is a wonderful piece of Italian confectionery history, evoking the excitement of Easter in 1930s Italy.

Just had a memory flashback of probably my first year of highschool around Easter time where there was a class raffle for a big Easter egg, like it was twice the size of my head. So the teacher picked me to pull out the winner and I made a joke something like. “annnnd the winner is me!” But then I go to open the folded ticket and say. “just joking, the real winner is..” that’s when I open the ticket and actually see my name on it and I’m like. “oh! Me!”. Probably one of the only good memories I have of highschool.

While hiding the last 2 eggs from the 2nd annual #homelesslivesmatter Easter Egg Hunt, before Easter last year was even over, I found two eggs for this year’s hunt. Well, they will have been if I was still alive to have participated in this year’s hunt. 😺

Wanted to post the Easter dinner + Jesus cake me and my friends made. We don’t have a table so we had to feast on the floor.
