Through his study and collection of Ballerini & Fratini cards, Hans Schnepper has identified a small series of cards. This series was called the 'Serie Cines-Pittaluga' and seems to have featured only Italian actresses and actors. Only a few cards have been seen, and the numbers of those card all have a 4-digit number starting with 25. The card at 2557, featuring Armando Falonieri, is postmarked with the date 19 July 1932. A few of the numbers from this series also appear in the regular chamois series. The name of the series refers to businessman-producer Stefano Pittaluga, who, in 1929, restored the old Cines studios. |
