It consists of the cinematographic and audio-visual corpus acquired from his personal library, which includes over two thousand books and magazines and thirty-six files of documents of a more strictly archival nature. The files are divided into five groups (Correspondence, Press Review, Editorial Projects, Scriptments and Scripts, Festivals, Conferences and Cultural Institutes) and cover a period of time that ranges from 1954 to 2007. Of particular interest are the extensive collection of press clippings of both his commentaries and other articles sorted by subject, the handwritten and typewritten drafts of essays and presentations, the draft copies of his books (such as the one on Francesco Rosi and Mino Maccari) and the filmmakers&#8217; profiles Bolzoni produced for the\u00a0<em>Treccani<\/em>\u00a0Italian Encyclopaedia and the\u00a0<em>Filmlexicon degli autori e delle opere<\/em>.

Since 1971 he was a film essayist and historian for the daily newspaper &#8220;Avvenire&#8221; and in 1973 he became part of the editorial staff of &#8220;Rivista del cinematografo&#8221;.

In the mid-1960s, as he took on the role of deputy director of film and television scheduling for both channels, he developed series dedicated to authors and films such as<\/em>\u00a0La commedia all&#8217;italiana, Quest&#8217;America\u00a0<em>and<\/em>\u00a0Tuttotot\u00f2<em>. In the 1980s he produced the extensive series<\/em>\u00a0Maestri del cinema italiano\u00a0<em>and re-launched the radio programme<\/em>\u00a0Buona notte Europa<em>, interviewing the most important Italian writers, film directors and painters. Bolzoni is also the author of several profiles of film directors within the<\/em>\u00a0Treccani\u00a0<em>Italian Encyclopaedia. He wrote texts on Italian and Hungarian cinema for<\/em>\u00a0Storie del cinema,\u00a0<em>published by De Agostini and by Curcio, and for the booklets that accompanied the newsstand releases of the Italian film videocassettes by Eri (Edizioni Radio Italiana).

It amounts to over one thousand documents, which highlight &#8211; throughout a span of time that covers the second half of the 20th century and the 21st century &#8211; the evolution of Mario Verdone&#8217;s studies and cultural interests, as well as the development of his career and the relationships he cultivated with major Italian and international figures in the world of literature and performing arts. The core of the collection consists of his correspondence, which includes about 900 documents such as letters, drafts, cards, notes and\u00a0<i>\u00a0<\/i>telegrams, around which the remaining material gravitates. The latter includes: over one hundred of Verdone&#8217;s handwritten and typed notes from the period of avant-garde movements, especially Futurism; over one hundred newspaper and magazine cut-outs; over one hundred black-and-white photographic prints; the extract &#8220;Platone politico&#8221;, Siena, 1941 and &#8220;Palio futurista Siena&#8221;, Roma, 1978 by Verdone. Moreover, there are publications by other authors, most of whom aligned with Futurism. Considering the complexity of the materials, the corpus has been divided by topic and sender and, within each entry, documents are organised in chronological order, from the most recent to the oldest. Topics range from cinema to theatre, from radio to circus, from painting to scenic design; and also teaching at the CSC and other universities, conventions at universities and cultural institutions, his position as vice-president of the CSC and member or head of Italian or international organisations, his job as planner of exhibits, conventions and events.<\/div>\n<p><i>Mario Verdone (1917-2009) &#8211;<\/i>\u00a0<i>Intellectual, documentary director, writer, performing arts critic, cultural event planner, Professor Emeritus of Film History and Critic and much else. In 1941 Mario Verdone begins his long career at the Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia as didactic secretary. After coming to a standstill due to the call to arms in 1943 and the Centre closing down during the war, his career resumed in 1948 as professor and editorial assistant for the magazine \u00abBianco e nero\u00bb, as well as editor and vice-director of the Institute during the 1960s.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-36116 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/csc.c2i.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Fondo-Mario-Verdone-300x213.jpg\" alt=\"Fondo Mario Verdone - CSC\" width=\"300\" height=\"213\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fondazionecsc.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Fondo-Mario-Verdone-300x213.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.fondazionecsc.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Fondo-Mario-Verdone-600x425.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.fondazionecsc.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Fondo-Mario-Verdone-768x544.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.fondazionecsc.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Fondo-Mario-Verdone-1024x725.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.fondazionecsc.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Fondo-Mario-Verdone.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/div>\n\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        \n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":42093,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"page-templates\/fullwidthpage.php","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"settore":[80],"class_list":["post-42102","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry","settore-biblioteca-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Critics, Journalists, Scholars \u2013 Archival and Bibliographic Collections \u2013 Luigi Chiarini Library - Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fondazionecsc.it\/en\/fondi-archivistici-e-bibliografici\/critici-giornalisti-studiosi-fondi-archivistici-e-bibliografici-biblioteca-luigi-chiarini\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Critics, Journalists, Scholars \u2013 Archival and Bibliographic Collections \u2013 Luigi Chiarini Library - Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.fondazionecsc.it\/en\/fondi-archivistici-e-bibliografici\/critici-giornalisti-studiosi-fondi-archivistici-e-bibliografici-biblioteca-luigi-chiarini\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2025-05-29T10:11:41+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.fondazionecsc.it\\\/en\\\/fondi-archivistici-e-bibliografici\\\/critici-giornalisti-studiosi-fondi-archivistici-e-bibliografici-biblioteca-luigi-chiarini\\\/\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.fondazionecsc.it\\\/en\\\/fondi-archivistici-e-bibliografici\\\/critici-giornalisti-studiosi-fondi-archivistici-e-bibliografici-biblioteca-luigi-chiarini\\\/\",\"name\":\"Critics, Journalists, Scholars \u2013 Archival and Bibliographic Collections \u2013 Luigi Chiarini Library - Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.fondazionecsc.it\\\/en\\\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2020-03-09T13:53:19+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2025-05-29T10:11:41+00:00\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.fondazionecsc.it\\\/en\\\/fondi-archivistici-e-bibliografici\\\/critici-giornalisti-studiosi-fondi-archivistici-e-bibliografici-biblioteca-luigi-chiarini\\\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/www.fondazionecsc.it\\\/en\\\/fondi-archivistici-e-bibliografici\\\/critici-giornalisti-studiosi-fondi-archivistici-e-bibliografici-biblioteca-luigi-chiarini\\\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.fondazionecsc.it\\\/en\\\/fondi-archivistici-e-bibliografici\\\/critici-giornalisti-studiosi-fondi-archivistici-e-bibliografici-biblioteca-luigi-chiarini\\\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.fondazionecsc.it\\\/en\\\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Archival and Bibliographic Collections &#8211;
