The Italian film industry took shape between 1903 and 1908, led by three major organizations: Cines, based in Rome; and the Turin-based companies Ambrosio and Itala Film.
В период с 1909 по 1910 год главные итальянские компании (Cines, Film d’arte italiana, Ambrosio, Itala, Pasquali и Milano) еженедельно объявляли о своих новинках.
