Italian Four Fogli (55" x 78"); Country-of-Origin ;
Very Fine+ on Linen; Artwork by Giorgio Olivetti
Cineriz, 1959

There were two styles of large-format Italian posters made for this film, and this one is widely considered the best. This four fogli poster features a striking image by Giorgio Olivetti, showcasing the beautiful Anita Ekberg while a world-weary Marcello Mastroianni looks on. Printed on two sheets, this example was professionally linen-backed with only minimal touch-up to parts of the folds to address very light wear and the poster shows a vertical scratch on the bottom of Ekberg's dress near her foot. The result is a stunning piece that displays one of the most iconic images from its era.

Regarded as one of the greatest examples of Italian cinema, Federico Fellini's vibrant satire is best known for two things: the iconic scene where Anita Ekberg bathes in Rome's Trevi Fountain, and coining the word 'paparazzi', named after the photographer character Paparazzo (Walter Santesso).
