"Terzi was born in Palermo on the island of Sicily, by 1900 we find him doing drawings in for the Rome daily 'La Tribuna Illustrata'. From then on he starts working in posters for Ricordi among others. His draftsmanship as well as His feelings for colours are impeccable, his designs always pictorially fascinating... One of the masters of early poster design in Italy" (Rennert)
