Modern Italy, unified in 1861, stretches from the snow-capped Alps in the north to the sun-kissed shores of Sicily in the south.

<p>Vintage Spanish chromo/  postcards added to chocolate. Chocolate Imperiale. Distr. J. Gurgui, Barcelona. Caesar Film, Rome. The lost film <i>La piccola fonte</i> (Roberto Roberti, Caesar Film 1917), starring Francesca Bertini, yet here we see Annibale Ninchi and Olga Benetti. Card 5.  <br />
<br />
An aspiring writer (Annibale Ninchi) dumps his fragile wife (Francesca Bertini) for a princess (Olga Benetti), after which the frail, good wife loses her mind. When the prodigal son returns home and has lost his inspiration, the maddened wife commits suicide. <br />
 <br />
During the first quarter of the twentieth century, <b>Francesca Bertini</b> (1892-1985) was a majestic diva of the Italian silent cinema. She often played the 'femme fatale', with men devouring eyes, glamorous attire, clenched fists, and in opulent settings...<br />
<br />
<b>Annibale Ninchi</b> (1889-1967) was an Italian stage and screen actor and playwright, who became famous as the title character in Scipione l’Africano (1937) but also as the father in Fellini’s La dolce vita (1960) and 8 ½ (1963).</p>
