His graphic style was unadorned, making the communication clear and immediate, as we see in the 1959 poster in which the Pirelli Cinturato consists of just three elements: a stylised drawing of the tyre, the logo, and the name of the product. \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fondazionepirelli.org\/archivio-storico\/disegni-e-manifesti\/search\/result.html?query=Cinturato&amp;jsonVal=%7B%22jsonVal%22%3A%7B%22query%22%3A%22Manzi%22%2C%22startDate%22%3A%22%22%2C%22endDate%22%3A%22%22%2C%22fieldDate%22%3A%22dataNormal%22%2C%22_perPage%22%3A20%2C%22dataVis%22%3A%22%5C%221961%5C%22%22%7D%7D&amp;lang=it\">With Eyes Closed<\/a>\u201c(1961), for another Cinturato, was the most iconic advertising campaign by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fondazionepirelli.org\/archivio-storico\/disegni-e-manifesti\/search\/result.html?query=&amp;jsonVal=%7B%22jsonVal%22%3A%7B%22startDate%22%3A%22%22%2C%22endDate%22%3A%22%22%2C%22fieldDate%22%3A%22dataNormal%22%2C%22_perPage%22%3A20%2C%22collanaName%22%3A%22%5C%22Bozzetti+pubblicitari%5C%22%22%7D%7D&amp;autoreAmbitoIco=%22Manzi%2C+Riccardo%22\"><strong>Riccardo Manzi<\/strong><\/a>. In the advertisement, the driver\u2019s eyes are obscured by a tyre that prevents him from seeing the road, and only the use of Pirelli tyres means that he is perfectly safe.
