Film
Paniters

Since the post-World War I era, in a context of productive and cultural rebirth and against the backdrop of an ever-increasing production of films, the film industry found talented painters for the creation of posters and handbills. In Italy, in particular, a true school of excellence was born capable of producing works that, beyond their communicative purpose, are rightfully recognized as true works of art, and the painters who contributed to them are well known as the Italian Master Poster Painters.

OUR RESTORATION

Details make the difference

After a careful process of research and conservation, we are completing the digitalization and virtual restoration of the original posters stored in our archive and acquired over the course of many decades. Thus, we have brought the works of the Italian Master Poster Painters into the digital era.

Each work is digitized in high resolution and undergoes a careful enhancement phase, during which we optimize contrast and saturation, remove imperfections, and, if necessary, proceed with reconstructions of missing parts while preserving the characteristic halftone of the original image.

The halftone, unique and essential in lithographic prints, is a pattern of dots or fine, regular lines visible when observing the print up close. This element, a result of the lithographic plate production process, represents an important characteristic that places the work in its temporal and cultural context.

Attention to detail is our hallmark.
We offer high-resolution, large-format prints that preserve the authenticity and beauty of the original posters, safeguarding their history and artistic value.

Thousands of images: infinites possibilities

The pictorial images in our archive are the result of years of research and careful preservation. These are the famous movie posters that promoted films when they were released in cinemas.
Currently, many thousands of posters and playbills are already available.
