The Alessandro Blasetti Archive is a unique source of information that traces the profiles and work of many professional figures of the film industry, including scenographers and costume designers. An examination of the director’s filmography reveals the names of the numerous maestri of Italian cinema who, between the 1930s and the 1970s, elevated the art of set and costume design beyond Italy. Among them were pioneers such as Virgilio Marchi, Gastone Medin, Gino Carlo Sensani and Dario Cecchi. The archive holds rare documents that concern them as well as documents relative to Marina Arcangeli and Maria de Matteis, two women who were as important as their male colleagues to the success of Italian talent in this sector.
