An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Italian Two-Panel (known in Italy as a "4 Fogli") Movie Poster (2p; measures 55" x 78" [140 x 198 cm]) (Learn More) Il Trovatore (literally translates to "The Troubadour"), the 1949 Carmine Gallone Italian musical romantic melodrama (based on the opera by Giuseppe Verdi; a complicated story of the daughter of a gypsy who is burned at the stake, and the revenge she seeks from the royal family; this movie "opens up" the story beyond what was presented on stage, adding war sequences; some of the actors are opera singers who of course sing their parts, but others are actors who are dubbed by opera singers) starring Gianna Pederzini, Enzo Mascherini, Gino Sinimberghi, Vittorina Colonnello, and Antonio Salvarezza. It appears this movie was never released in the U.S. If anyone knows more about this movie, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Of course, this opera was brilliantly parodied in the Marx Bros. movie "A Night at the Opera". Artist: Giorgio Olivetti Important Added Info: Note that Italian posters from the first few years after World War II are among the most rare posters there are! Apparently, there were still major paper shortages in Italy, and few posters were printed, and most were recycled. This is an extremely rare first release Italian poster from 1949. We have never before auctioned this Italian two-panel (or any other Italian poster from this movie), which is a "country of origin" poster for this Italian movie! What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had some paper loss scattered along the area where the two sections join, with some tiny paper loss at some crossfolds and some tiny bits of paper loss on parts of some folds. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
