“What can be more beautiful than allowing the enthusiast to see close up and almost touch part of those “dreams” which he, alive and real, up to now has only been able to admire from afar, represented inside that magical space called the screen, in the dreamlike darkness of a cinema?”. Rinaldo Albanesi
