'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.'

Eva was styled in a selection of top designer gowns by the likes of Vivienne Westwood, Versace, Alaia and Christian Louboutin.
The Campari Calendar, of which only 9,999 copies are printed, will be internationally distributed to friends of Campari around the world.
'What I loved most about this year’s theme was the flexibility it gave me as a photographer,' Julia commented.

'My own work is all about telling stories so shooting the Calendar felt very close to my heart.'
Meanwhile, Eva joked she was like an 'old lady' today during the unveiling of the calendar in London on Wednesday.
The actress has lived in London for several years but doesn't have many recommendations on cool clubs and bars because she doesn't actually go out drinking very much.
She said: 'I'm quite boring actually, I love London because of the parks, I love walking and nice restaurants - St John's is my favourite restaurant ever.
'I'm not a party girl, I'm like an old lady so if I have an aperitif I have it at home.'
Despite her screen work, the French beauty insists she has no desire to ever move to Hollywood - joking that she wouldn't be able to cope as she can't drive a car.
She said: 'I've been living here for eight or nine years now. I think I'd die in Hollywood, I cant drive...'
