Ambrosio Film

Background
Ambrosio Film was a film production and distribution company that was established in Turin in 1906 by Arturo Ambrosio, Giovanni Vitrotti, and Robert Omegna. Initially, their slate consisted of documentaries and short films but quickly became more successful with their historical epics such as The Last Days of Pompeii, which set a trend in the Italian film industry and enhanced Ambrosio's status. The company would remain a leading producer during the 1910s, but was largely affected by the aftermath of World War I. Ambrosio himself would sell his share in the studio to Armando Zanotto. Finally, on December 4, 1924, Ambrosio Film was liquidated.
