"How to Take Advantage of Italian Men" was drawn for Holiday magazine, according to the notations of Ronald Searle, the illustrator. It's subtle, but if you look closely you'll note that the Italian man seen here is evidently something of a peacock. I don't know if this drawing was actually published.
Much of Searle's work for Holiday was reportage. This drawing is of a more fanciful variety not in itself requiring travel to exotic locations.
A new exhibition, "Searle in America," opens November 16 at the Cartoon Art Museum in San Francisco. It contains much of Searle's reportage work for the American market. It would be a mistake to not take advantage of it.

"Searle in America," the exhibition of Ronald Searle's work for the U.S. magazine market opens November 16 at the Cartoon Art Museum in San Francisco. The Museum's information about the show is here. The drawing of "How to Take Advantage of Italian Men" is almost certainly not included in the exhibition.
The Searle in America blog is dedicated to this exhibition and can be seen here.
