Invigorating? I’d say. For those of you not in the know–a group to which I would have belonged until seconds ago–VOV is an Italian liqueur that is essentially a mixture of marsala wine and–Are you ready?–egg. Not to sound too provincial, but the thought of combining wine and yolks never occurred to me. It’s yellow and dense, frequently served with espresso or cappuccino, and unlike anything you’re likely to find in most salmonella-shy American homes. And the only real hint the artist gives to the uninitiated is the coloring of the viscous tipple’s lettering. Nizzoli was a most versatile artist, being a painter, decorator, textile designer and posterist. Many of his posters were for automobile companies. In 1938, he joined Olivetti and was responsible for some of their finest images of the 40s and 50s. Rare!
