The Silent Film Collection | The Sound Film Collection

"Lo splendore del muto" in TurinThe collection from the Maria Adriana Prolo Fund is the most considerable one counting 387 among short and long feature films, mostly produced by Itala Film and Ambrosio.
Among the most relevant works are "La Guerra e il sogno di Momi" by Segundo de Chòmon, "Cenere" by Luigi Maggi, "Gelosia" by Augusto Genina, "Maciste Alpino" by Luigi Maggi and Luigi Romano Borgnetto, "La Signora delle camelie" by Gustavo Serena.
Over the years the number of collected works has increased thanks to several donations and acquisitions: the Giovanni Pastrone Collection gathers important films such as "Cabiria", "Il Fuoco", "La caduta di Troia", "Tigre Reale"; the Desmet Collection, acquired from the Nederland Film Museum, thanks to which the first works produced in Torino for the foreign market were retrieved, includes works such as "Gli ultimi giorni di Pompei" by Giovanni Pastrone, and "Sogno di un tramonto d'autunno" by Maggi, "Il padrone delle Ferriere" by Eugenio Perego, and "Le comiche" by Cretinetti and Polidor.
The Silent film section also includes a significant collection of historical, medical and naturalist documentaries, such as "L'ascensione al Cervino" and "La spedizione all'Himalaya" by Mario Piacenza, "Viaggio del Duca degli Abruzzi al K2" by Vittorio Sella, "L'esposizione del 1911 a Torino" and "Carosello storico" del 1925
