Aleardo Terzi (6 January 1870 – 15 July 1943) was an Italian illustrator and artist. As an illustrator, Terzi was described as bringing Italian Art Nouveau poster design to a world-class level. He produced work throughout his life, notably for the Italian poster company Casa Ricordi. Most of his work was destroyed in the 1960s when the company cleared its warehouses.
