My late friend Renzo Cenci started in the field of movie poster art in 1958, working for Studio Riccardo Battaglia, and all his first movie posters, The Guns of Navarone + many others, and first Crime-book covers was signed always "Studio Bat".

After studio Battaglia he worked with Adelchi Serafini and with Maro ( Mauro Innocenti) where he learned more about the best way to use the colors. For over 15 years ha was the assistant of Renato Casaro and for other 12 years assistant of Enzo Sciotti. With Sciotti he painted a great lot of movie poster as I Picari, il Siciliano, Il Bar dello Sport, Something of Blonde (with SOPHIA LOREN) etc , he painted also a great number of covers for adult's pocket comics like "La Schiava" and "Pig". In his latest years he painted mainly portraits of people from the Sport World, especially football-players of the ROMA team.

Le avventure di Roland erano curate da due autori di eccezione Luigi Grecchi ai testi e Ferdinando Corbella ai disegni.

Owner:

La storia che ho raccontato a corredo dell'immagine è di pura fantasia, ma è ispirata alle avventure di Rolanf Eagle pubblicate sui primi numeri dell' Intrepido Libretto.

Owner:

Grazie Davide per aver visitato la mia gallery e per il tuo commento.

Owner:

Non so nemmeno se è stata pubblicata in Italia oppure no ... chissà, forse in Argentina... forse in Francia ... INDAGHERO'

Owner:

Non saprei datare con esattezza questa opera, potrebbe essere stata commissionata dall'editore Giusto Vaglieri che era intenzionato a pubblicare un settimanale tipo Grand Hotel ... 

Owner:

At the time mr Corbella was young and did always very beautiful covers, he was a real MASTER !

ONE TIME ALL THE PHANTOM ARTISTS WAS ABLE TO DRAW A "PERFECT" PHANTOM in the SY BARRY style ...

Today this is very HARD to find, because various selfsaying Ph-artists are only the "smoke sellers" not able do do this "very important" character created by Lee Falk.

Owner:

MANY THANKS DEAR MARCUS... to appreciate !!!
