Adelina Zandrino (19 September 1893 - 1994) was an Italian artist and illustrator. She was encouraged by the Mostra Internazionale d'Arte Femminile of 1913 to take up a career in the arts.
In 1913, Zandrino went to Paris with her father, Francesco Maria Zandrino,[1] a journalist and theatre critic.[2] While there she met such figures as Auguste Rodin and Gabriele D'Annunzio, through her father. She produced illustrations for the manuscript of D'Annunzio's Canzone del Sangue.[3]
During the war, Zandrino carried out some propaganda illustration work.[4] In 1917 she created a famous series of postcards, featuring illustrations of women. She continued with similar work during the 1920s and 1930s, also producing posters in the same Art Nouveau style; some of her work was in an erotic vein.[5] Her posters included advertisements for tennis tournaments and sportswear.[6]
