Before the Jury (1931)
During a reception in a villa, wealthy banker Calandri is killed in the park with a gunshot. The gamekeeper Barra is immediately arrested, but he declares himself innocent. During the trial it turns out that the defendant had threatened the victim, guilty of courting his sister-in-law. But the deposition of a journalist present at the party soon leads to discover the existence of a dense network of equivocal relations between the victim, the guests and the servants. This judicial setting drama is allegedly the second Italian sound film after "The Song of Love", made using the RCA Photophone recording technique, and is also considered to be the first Italian detective film, a precursor to the later genre of Giallo films.

Harlem (1943)
This propaganda film was partly inspired by the story of the first Italian heavyweight champion Primo Carnera who, after winning the title with Al Capone’s help in 1933, was beaten the following year by the Jewish Max Bear and then again by the ‘Brown Bomber’ Detroit Joe Lewis in June 1935, on the eve of the Italian invasion of Ethiopia. This match provoked numerous racial skirmishes on the streets of Harlem between the Black community and pro-Fascist Italian-Americans. The film overturns historical facts and here, obviously, it is the white boxer who wins in order to demonstrate the superiority of the “Aryan Italians” over the “sinister Jewish entrepreneurs” and the “savage Afro-American fans in Yankee Stadium”. In the film, these were played by South African prisoners-of-war interred in a work camp, which the German and Italian propaganda ministries had set up near Cinecittà “for cinematic purposes”.

[Rapallo] (1913)
Rapallo is a 1913 silent travelogue produced by Cines and released internationally under the title Gulf of Togulio (a misspelling of “Tigullio”). The film is preserved in a 35mm stencil-coloured print (87.3 m, 4'20" at 18 fps) with Dutch intertitles, held by Eye Filmmuseum in Amsterdam. As documented by Renato Venturelli and Giancarlo Giraud in the 44th Pordenone Silent Film Festival catalogue, the film opens with a map locating Rapallo on the Ligurian coast, followed by a sequence of views of the town and surrounding landmarks. These include the monument to Christopher Columbus—funded by emigrants from Rapallo—the bridge over the Boate near Villa Queirolo, the so-called “Hannibal’s Bridge,” San Michele di Pagana, and the Castello. The use of green and blue stencil tones contributes to a calm visual atmosphere, while wind and rough seas introduce a more dynamic element. The film’s content aligns with descriptions published in Moving Picture World in May 1913.

A Toreor's Love (1910)
A toreor is happily married to a young and pretty lady, whose charms have aroused the passion of another toreor, who forces his attentions upon her. She is compelled, by threats, to write a note to her husband, saying she does not love him. The husband enters, and reads the note. In spite of protestations of innocence, he refuses to believe her and tells her to leave his home for ever. Shortly after, a great bull-fight takes place, in which the guilty toreor is wounded. Repenting of the misery he has caused, he sends for the husband and confesses all, and the latter, repentant of his jealous conduct, seeks out his wife, and happiness is restored.
