Example text

Despite all the difficulties that naturally arose with Italy’s entry into World War II, film production not only continued unabated but actually increased, reaching 120 films in 1942. Film production was continuing apace in 1943 when, in the wake of the armistice that Italy signed with the Allies, Cinecittà was closed and much of its equipment looted by the retreating Germans and die-hard Fascists. Freddi and a small number of others who had worked in the industry attempted to revive national film production in Venice under the aegis of the so-called Republic of Salò, but of the 20 or so films actually made, few were widely seen and even fewer survived.

In 1919, in an attempt to remedy an ever-deteriorating situation, the major companies and their staff banded together under the leadership of the president of the Cines, Baron Fassini, to form the Unione Cinematografica Italiana (UCI, Italian Cinematographic Union). High hopes were short lived, however, as poor management practices, internal conflicts between some of the major players, technical and artistic inertia, and finally the declared bankruptcy in 1921 of UCI’s principal financial backer, the Banca di sconto, inexorably led to the syndicate’s collapse, and with it the greater part of the Italian film industry itself.

One of the founding fathers of the Italian film industry, Ambrosio was a photographer who owned an optical equipment and photographic supply shop in Turin in the early years of the 20th century. In 1904 he returned from Paris with a French camera and, together with fellow photographers and film enthusiasts Roberto Omegna and Giovanni Vitrotti, began experimenting with the new medium in documenting current events. Two years later, buoyed by the success of these short documentaries and with the foresight of an astute entrepreneur, he founded the Ambrosio Film company, providing it with its own well-equipped studios and other appropriate facilities.
