This book takes a different standpoint, looking at Italian cinema from the perspective of an unusual, but influential actor: advertisers. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom the iconic Vespa scooter\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eand the many other \u003ci\u003eMade in Italy\u003c\/i\u003e products placed in domestic and international features, to \u003ci\u003eCarosello\u003c\/i\u003e's early format of branded entertainment, up through the more recent brand integration cases in award-winning titles like \u003ci\u003eThe Great Beauty\u003c\/i\u003e, the Italian film and advertising industries have frequently and significantly intersected, in ways that remain largely unexplored by academic research. This book contributes to fill this gap, by focusing on the economic and cultural influence that advertising and advertisers' interests have been exerting on Italian film production between the post-war period and the 2010s. Increasingly market-oriented film policies, ongoing pressure from Hollywood competition, and the abnormal economic as well as political power held by Italian ad-funded broadcasters are among the key points addressed by the book. In addition to a macro-level political economic analysis, the book draws on exclusive interviews with film producers and promotional intermediaries to provide a meso level analysis of the practices and professional cultures of those working at the intersection of Italian film and advertising industries. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProviding an in-depth yet clear and accessible overview of the political and economic dynamics driving the Italian media landscape towards unprecedented forms of marketisation, this is a valuable resource for academics and students in the fields of film and media studies, marketing, advertising, and Italian studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGloria Dagnino, PhD, works at the Institute of Media and Journalism of the Università della Svizzera Italian (USI), where she teaches film economics within the Master program in Film Studies of the Swiss Cinema Network.
