    This article outlines an overview of the relationship between costume and film in contemporary Italian cinema, with particular reference to class, gender and ideological discourse. Considering Italian film production in the last fifteen to twenty years, from popular film to auteur cinema, the article lays out the challenge of cultural stereotypes about ‘Made in Italy’ and its meanings in a global age. The significance of costume will be explored in terms of plot and character development, mise-en-scène and visuality, negotiating cinematic technique, film analysis and cultural interpretation. More specifically, and with particular reference to the work of Stephen Gundle, we investigate how costume design of male and female characters embodies national discourses such as nostalgia, male anxiety and the ideals of feminine beauty

    L'articolo affronta il campo della promozione del cinema italiano contemporaneo, e in particolare il cosiddetto "cinema di interesse culturale", finanziato e supportato dallo Stato, analizzando il caso di studio del film "Il giovane favoloso" (M. Martone, 2014). In particolare, si mette in evidenza il rapporto tra la promozione del film e quella del territorio, facendo leva su alcuni valori intercambiabili tra cinema d'autore e beni culturali.Strategies of film marketing are usually put in practice through a range of discourses and contexts. Despite the vast amount of research on marketing and communication in film, little is known about the promotion of contemporary Italian art house cinema. This article addresses Il giovane favoloso (M. Martone, 2014), a film about the figure of Giacomo Leopardi, by focusing on production, distribution and marketing strategies, and paying particular attention to the construction of the cultural value of the film. More specifically, looking at the works of Pierre Bourdieu and Paul DiMaggio, I investigate how marketing strategies define the audience and the cultural field of Il giovane favoloso by linking the ideals of poetry, territory and culture at a local level, and considering the contribution of the Regione Marche film commission and the impact of film on the tourism industry
