He liked her so much that he couldn\u2019t resist: on leaving the cinema he cut Pavone\u2019s face out of the poster and took it with him. When he got home, he realised that he didn\u2019t like it as much separated from the rest of the image, and so he went back to remove the entire poster.<br \/>\nThen came The Beatles\u2019 A Hard Day\u2019s Night. And that\u2019s how it all began.<br \/>\nAt the beginning his parents weren\u2019t very pleased that he was going around tearing posters off of walls and cinema showcases. One night, after a furious row, his father ended up burning everything he had collected. From that moment on, his objective became to recover everything that had been brutally taken away from him. With time, his parents resigned themselves to this and every year, as a reward for passing the school year, his father would take him to buy posters from SAC in Bologna.<br \/>\nSustained by an inexhaustible passion, Maurizio Baroni collected over 32,000 posters and lobby cards representing over 27,000 titles from 1945 on \u2013 titles which have made film history, both in Italy and abroad. He also built up a collection of film music that contains over 91,000 soundtrack extracts,<br \/>\nincluding many unreleased titles.<br \/>\nIt\u2019s thanks to his intuition that today we can talk about the masters of that glorious period of Italian cinema as \u2018cinema painters\u2019. His cataloguing was carried out with scientific rigour and was pioneering, as far as Italy is concerned, resulting in an unprecedented image database of film posters. We also have to thank him for his intuition and perseverance in unearthing and bringing to the light the painters who \u201cignited the imaginations of cinema and art lovers with their creativity\u201d. His collection (today mostly conserved by the Fondazione Cineteca di Bologna) encompasses various genres and the work of the most important directors and bears witness to the evolution of the different styles of the great \u201cpainters of the cinema\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>*<\/p>\n<p>Grand Hotel Majestic<br \/>\nvia dell\u2019Indipendenza 8<br \/>\nJune 17th &#8211; September 5th, 2021<br \/>\nFree Access<br \/>\nMonday-Sunday, 11am &#8211; 6pm<\/p>\n<p>On display in the basement of the Grand Hotel Majestic\u00a0from the 17 June to the 5 September 2021 (Mon-Sun 11.00 \u2013 18.00)\u00a0will be the original preparatory sketches for important film posters including Arthur Penn\u2019s <i>The Miracle Worker<\/i> (1962), Duccio Tessari\u2019s <i>Fornaretto di Venezia<\/i> (1963) and Fran\u00e7ois Truffaut\u2019s <i>Stolen<\/i> <i>Kisses <\/i>(1968).<\/p>\n<p>Special thanks to Patrizia e Valentina Baroni.<\/p>\n<p>***<\/p>\n<p><strong>GINO CARLO SENSANI and cinema costumes<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Biblioteca Renzo Renzi \u2013 Spazio Biglietteria Lumi\u00e8re<br \/>\nPiazzetta Pier Paolo Pasolini, 3\/b<br \/>\n19 July \u2013 5 September 2021<br \/>\nFree admission<br \/>\nOpening hours<br \/>\n30 settembre 9.00-18.30 \/ 19 \u2013 27 July and 1 \u2013 30 September 9 am-6.30 pm<br \/>\nClosed in August<\/p>\n<p>Working in both the theatre and the cinema, Gino Carlo Sensani defined the role of costume designer as an autonomous vocation, transforming it, including in the eyes of the public, into a position of profound expertise and cultural significance.<br \/>\nBorn in the province of Siena in 1888, as a young man he travelled and spent time in Paris, where he dedicated his time to painting and became well known for his woodcuts. On his return to Tuscany, he spent time with the writers Aldous Huxley and DH Lawrence and intellectuals of the calibre of Marino Moretti and Aldo Palazzeschi. In 1914 he made his debut as a costume designer for the theatre and in<br \/>\n1932 the artistic director of Cines, Emilio Cecchi, introduced him to a career in the cinema when he entrusted him with Guido Brignone\u2019s film Pergolesi. The cinema seems to have been the natural outlet for Sensani\u2019s creativity and he designed the costumes for almost 90 films collaboratin with Alessandrini, Camerini, Matarazzo, Blasetti, Soldati, Lattuada, and many others. His apprentice Dario Cecchi relates<br \/>\nthat he used to cover the card of his designs \u201cwith clean, new paper\u201d and reused them again and again; he did so not out of frugality, rather \u201cwith extreme detachment, he would cover gouaches and watercolours that other people would undoubtedly have conserved because he was convinced that cinema was nothing but a remnant and therefore the pictorial images with which he gave visual life to<br \/>\ncinematic tales should also become remnants.\u201d<br \/>\nThe preparation that Sensani dedicated to his costume designs was original and absolutely rigorous. As a man of exceptional taste and culture, he created costumes for a character only after a detailed literary, pictorial and historical reconstruction and an analysis of the period in which the film was set and the spaces in which the characters moved. According to Sensani, the costumes should express a psychological interpretation of the character and a figurative interpretation of the atmosphere of the film. This is the specifically artistic aspect of the costume designer\u2019s work that he understood and taught very well. In fact, from 1935 Blasetti assigned him a position teaching costume design at the Centro<br \/>\nSperimentale di Cinematografia film school in Rome, where he transmitted his artistic and professional knowledge to his students with enormous generosity. With Sensani, a genuine school with a precise method took shape in Italy for the first time, to be carried forward in the future work of talents such as Maria de Matteis, Piero Gherardi, Dario Cecchi, Piero Tosi and Gabriella Pescucci.<\/p>\n<p>Special thanks to Anna Noli, Margherita Comporti e Paolo Mereghetti<\/p>\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sorry, this entry is only available in Italiano.
