Anichini made his debut as an illustrator in 1903 for Scena illustrata, a popular Italian magazine based in Florence with which he had a long collaboration. In 1906, after having participated in a competition announced for the covers of Vamba’s Il giornalino della Domenica magazine, he also began a long collaboration with this newspaper.
In addition to collaborating with many other magazines of the time (Musica e Musicisti, Passerotto, Corriere musica dei bambini, Vita nova, Almanacco Italiano Bemporad), Anichini was also an illustrator of books and posters for theatrical performances at the Roman Theater of Fiesole (1911-1913).
Anichini died in 1948 in Florence at the age of 62. Here below is a set of impressive posters designed by Ezio Anichini in the early 20th century.
