This essay presents a mapping of archival sources, public and private, connected to the activities of the cine-theatrical tailors and costume designers in order to reconstruct a productive and cultural reality of absolute excellence that, starting from the past century, developed in Rome. The aim is to offer information in the context of personal archives, consisting of documentary assets of various types, ranging from collections of press clippings, photographs, notes, working manuscripts and, above all else, collections of original sketches often accompanied by samples of fabrics, produced by costume designers for the creation of cinematic, televisual and theatrical costumes. The major film and theatre ateliers operating in Rome are listed and follow a focus on the archival funds of costume designers of the Chiarini Library of the Experimental Center for Cinematography Foundation. Designers include such names as Gino Carlo Sensani, Piero Tosi, Vera Marzot, Adriana Berselli, Marisa D’Andrea and Alberto Verso.
