General Della Rovere - Original Russian Movie Poster

Photo-collage poster designed to promote Roberto Rossellini’s acclaimed wartime drama in Russian cinemas, starring Vittorio De Sica. Set during the German occupation of Italy, the film follows a petty swindler forced to impersonate a celebrated Resistance leader, gradually transforming the role into an unexpected act of courage. Winner of the Golden Lion at the 1959 Venice Film Festival, the film is one of Rossellini’s major postwar works. This rare small-format poster features a dramatic monochrome photographic composition typical of Soviet cinema advertising of the period.
