The Campari Calendar is one of the world’s iconic artistic calendars. Each year the calendar is produced with a limited edition distribution across the world of 9,999 copies. It is a tribute to the world class talent and photographers that make it come to life every year.
The 2015 Campari calendar entitled ‘Mythology Mixology’ stars the beautiful French born actress Eva Green, is the 16th edition in the collection and is dedicated to celebrating Campari’s unique and intriguing history and the intrinsic stories linked to twelve of its best-loved classic cocktails.
This year’s dreamlike imagery imaginatively depicts the beautiful and little-known anecdotes, tales and curiosities behind each iconic recipe. Shot by worldwide acclaimed and exhibited fine art photographer, Julia Fullerton-Batten, the first ever woman to get behind the lens of the project, shoots scenes from the classic Negroni cocktail, created by Count Camillo Negroni himself in 1919, to the modern Campari Orange Passion, a contemporary spin on the classic Campari Orange.
The Calendar explores and celebrates the recipes that have stood the test of time and are still adored in today’s modern world. Other tales include the creation of the Americano in 1933, which is said to have been named after Primo Carnera, the first Italian to win the heavyweight boxing title in New York – to the Campari & Seltz, the most popular drink in the Bar Camparino, opened by Davide Campari himself. The bar celebrated its 100th Birthday in 2015 and this simple yet sumptuous cocktail is still as popular now as it was when the bar opened a century ago. The dazzling heroine, Eva Green, personifies the iconic, classic and stylish nature of Campari in a series of stunning outfits created by leading designers including Vivienne Westwood, Versace, Alaia and Christian Louboutin to name just a few.
On starring in the 2015 Campari Calendar, Eva Green comments: “For me, this project was about much more than simply producing a Calendar. It was about telling a series of stories in an imaginative, creative and beautiful way – and that’s exactly what we’ve achieved. This year, those stories are closer to the heart of Campari than ever before and I personally feel very honoured to have been part of that. The 2015 Calendar is a real testament to Campari as a brand and seeing all of the stories together in one collection just proves that no matter how old these recipes may get, there will always be a firm place for Campari within our contemporary world.”
