His iconic images are associated with the golden era of Hollywood and Campeggi is now generally regarded as the most important graphic artist and poster designer in the history of American cinema. Campeggi's father, a printer and typesetter, exposed him to the world of graphics and design. He attended the art school at Porta Romana, Florence, studying under accomplished painters of the time such as Ottone Rosai and Ardengo Soffici. In the following decades, Campeggi designed and produced the poster and advertising graphics for over 3000 films, working for several major movie studios. Sixty-four of the films he illustrated won Oscars, including Casablanca, An American in Paris, West Side Story, Breakfast at Tiffany's, and Gigi. In the 1970s when film poster illustration lost impact in the face of television and newspaper advertising, Campeggi returned to Florence. There he continued his career painting several important series for the city of Arezzo, Florence, and many other organizations. The most recent exhibition commemorated one of the largest armed conflicts ever to take place in Italy – The Battle of Campaldino fought between the cities of Florence and Arezzo on June 11, 1289. It is a spectacular assembly of large and dramatic battle scenes combined with more intimate portraits of the knights and noblemen who led the cavalry and infantry – all liberally splashed with “I Colori Della Battaglia'.
