This absolutely gorgeous ad is actually just about a magical belt that prevents seasicknessSee him shaking his tiny fist defiantly at the sea, as he struggles not to turn as green as the sky?  But hey, it won a gold medal at the Torino 1898 Exposition and he's definitely my kind of hunky.

The artist is Adolfo Hohenstein (1854-1928), considered the "father of Italian poster art".  Every one of his poster ads should be shared here, but there are too many.

He (and his mom) remind me of Norman Bates haha. I also find their accents only a shade more convincing than Mario and Luigi.

I feel like making one to see if it's as good as I remember.

That's macaroni cooked with onion, parsley, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce, shrimp, and tomato soup cooked with Parmesan cheese. It's not that gross as combinations go, really, they just managed to make it look unappealing somehow.

I am guessing this is a movie about Jeweled Tarantula Vaginas and the men who love them.
