Dive. Wonders of Italian Cinema

This photographic exhibition focuses on female figures and behind‑the‑scenes life in Italian cinema from the 1940s to the 1970s. The selection includes on‑set images, screen tests, make‑up moments and breaks that trace the evolution of stardom and its cultural influence.

The project highlights material from the Kulturando.360 archive curated by Mauro Penzo, showcasing both leading actresses — such as Sophia Loren, Anna Magnani, Monica Vitti and Silvana Mangano — and the technicians (directors, producers, crews) who shaped Italian film production.

The Mauro Penzo archive, only partly digitized, provides a culturally significant documentary resource that the show brings to public attention.
