"Scalera Film" in the Via Latina in Rome, in the '60s, I made a series of illustrations that were used as backgrounds mounting them in the manner described in the illustration. The operator who used this technique was Mario Bava.
1) CAMERA.
2) SCENE OF ACTION.
3) MINIATURE PAINTING ON CARDBOARD, AND CUT GLASS PLATE MOUNTED ON MAIL IN ORDER TO ADAPT BACKGROUND TO PROFILE.
4) NATURAL BACKGROUND.
5) FRAME OF RESULT.




1963 - Attending the plants of the film "Scalera Film" by virtue of collaboration with Mario Bava, the architect Carlo Egidi asked me to make some wall decorations for a movie in the works for which she was taking care of the sets. It was "Marriage Italian Style" by Vittorio de Sica, Marcello Mastroianni and Sophia Loren. I climbed as well, together with Massimo Righi as an assistant on the high walls of the soundstage to decorate the interior of the brothel, the film's central section, as everyone knows, the comedy by Eduardo De Filippo "Filumena Marturano". I used to climb the term precisely because of this it was: we were working on five or six feet off the ground physically climb on a ladder. However, thanks to a remark by Vittorio de Sica for the first time I knew that there was "blue in Paris."
