An Extraordinary Masterpiece of Primitive Art

This stunning vintage Autogrill plate celebrates the culinary heritage of Tuscany and the classic Cinghiale in Umido (wild boar stew). Designed by renowned Sicilian artist Giovanni De Simone (1930–1991) in the late 1960s–70s, this plate honors the Autogrill Serravalle Pistoiese in Tuscany with one of the most artistic and striking compositions in the entire Autogrill series.

The Story Behind This Plate:
The Autogrill Serravalle Pistoiese, located in the Tuscan hills of Pistoia, became beloved for serving authentic regional specialties including the legendary wild boar stew. This commemorative plate captures that rustic culinary tradition with an absolutely magnificent illustration featuring a stylized wild boar rendered in an almost tribal, primitive art style. The extraordinary geometric patterns—striped mane, circular eye motifs, curved tusks, and intricate decorative details—create a mesmerizing composition. Below the majestic boar, fresh vegetables (carrots, mushrooms, herbs, onions), wine glass, and bottle complete the scene.

De Simone's Artistry:
Originally hand-painted by Giovanni De Simone and then reproduced using traditional serigraphy (screen printing), this plate showcases the artist's distinctive naïve style elevated to museum-quality heights. The abstract, almost totemic wild boar design, combined with the rich color palette (terracotta, coral, grey, golden orange), creates one of the most captivating and collectible pieces in the entire Autogrill × De Simone collaboration. This is folk art that transcends its origins to become fine art.

About Autogrill × De Simone Plates
During the 1960s–70s, Autogrill collaborated with the Sicilian artist Giovanni De Simone to create a series of hand-painted ceramic souvenir plates sold in their famous Italian highway travel stops. These were never restaurant plates — they were sold as collectible keepsakes celebrating Italian food, travel culture, and regional recipes. Today, they are cherished pieces of mid-century Italian folk art.
