Lecce: Movie posters



One day Bill and I decided to visit the castle. There was an exhibit of movie posters. Here is a sampling of what we saw.



The Italians love Westerns. In fact, while we were in Roma we happened to catch a real "spaghetti Western" (no dubbing, strictly Italian) on TV.
One of the differences between Italians and Americans and the visual arts--TV and movies--is that Americans are still affected by Puritanical constraints--at least this one is. I found the display of the following posters with the classical ones to be a bit jarring.
