Collection introduction

Explore original Italian locandina movie posters, a format prized by collectors for its narrow proportions, visual character and distinctive place in poster history. Smaller than many major theatrical formats but often highly striking in presentation, the locandina offers a different route into original cinema paper and the artwork of international film distribution.

For collectors, locandinas offer both individuality and display appeal. Their vertical shape gives them a refined presence on the wall, while their close association with Italian poster design makes them especially rewarding for those drawn to specialist formats with strong personality. This collection brings together original locandinas from across film history for collectors who value both authenticity and design.

The Italian locandina holds a distinctive place in movie poster collecting. Its narrow vertical proportions immediately set it apart from one sheets, quads and larger continental formats, and that difference is much of its appeal. For many collectors, a locandina is not simply a smaller variation on a familiar poster, but a format with its own rhythm, balance and visual identity.

What makes original locandinas especially rewarding is the way they combine specialist character with practical display appeal. They often feel elegant, unusual and closely tied to the traditions of Italian theatrical promotion, while remaining highly approachable in scale. Whether you are drawn to classic cinema, cult titles or the wider world of international poster formats, this collection brings together one of the most distinctive specialist areas of original movie poster collecting.

Original cinema posters

Every poster we sell is an original theatrical cinema poster, produced for cinema use rather than as a later reproduction. It is one of the most important distinctions when choosing an authentic piece of cinema artwork.

Original movie posters vs reproductions

An original movie poster was produced as part of a film’s theatrical advertising campaign. It is different from a later decorative print or reproduction.
At Art of the Movies, we specialise in original cinema posters, lobby cards and movie stills, carefully checked, clearly described and guaranteed original.
