Poster printed in Cologno Monzese in 1967, in a limited edition of 500 copies. This is copy no. 7/500, enhanced by the dedication and autograph signature of the graphic designer Giorgio Tavaglione, author of the poster. It is the first manifesto of the beat movement and of the Italian underground culture, promoted in Milan since 1966. On that date, the magazine "Mondo Beat" was born, with director Melchiorre Gerbino, inspired by the pacifist protest movements of the Dutch PROVO, and close to the movements Italian anarchists. The young beatniks created an alternative information channel that represented the primary vehicle for disseminating the principles that animated the beat movement, as opposed to the official cultural and communication circuits. Within the magazines, and in general in the various beat activities, poetic writing assumed an essential role as an integral part of the practice of dissent, since it represented one of the main forms of expression and affirmation of a different ideal of life, as well as of a different idea of collectivity. Giorgio Tavaglione was one of the best-known artistic exponents of the beat movement: as a complete self-taught Giò he designed the posters, flyers and covers of the first Italian underground magazines of the 1960s; disappeared for years after a trip to India, he subsequently reappeared as a draftsman of tarot cards and talismans in the creation of which he transferred his excellent graphic quality, his typical meticulous and imaginative, esoteric and visionary style. The work is framed.
