Issue 35 is now available
Issue 35 of Scenografia&Costume opens with a fitting tribute to Luigi Squarzina’s Genoese theater scene, alongside two of his most important collaborators, Gianfranco Padovani and Gianni Polidori. It then offers a behind-the-scenes look at the Teatro alla Scala in Milan, where Franco Malgrande explains the inner workings of the Ansaldo workshops and the engineering challenge of translating directors’ visions into real structures, in a continuous dialogue between traditional craftsmanship and digital innovation. The social and political value of scenic research emerges powerfully in the artistic work of the Compagnia della Fortezza in Volterra. The dramaturgy of space and material is once again front and center in the staging of Death of a Salesman, directed by Luigi Sciaccaluga with set design by Anna Varaldo. The narrative continues through the testimony of Mario Banushi, a Silver Lion at the Biennale Teatro 2026, and his Romance Familiare trilogy, up to the versatility of Gianluca Falaschi.
The focus on cinema unfolds between the historical reconstruction of Alejandro Amenábar’s The Captive, featuring costumes by Nicoletta Taranta, and Julian Schnabel’s In the Hand of Dante, with production design by Paki Meduri. Not to mention an exclusive interview with Michael Kaplan, the renowned costume designer credited on many recent Hollywood masterpieces. Two exhibitions are highlighted: Regine in Scena at the Reggia di Venaria and The Only True Protest is Beauty at the Dries Van Noten Foundation inside Palazzo Pisani Moretta in Venice. Room is then given to the Crossings, Art Without Limits project by the Academy of Fine Arts of Naples. The issue closes with the book Schiaparelli Anglomaniac, published by Skira, which retraces the bond between the Maison and iconic photographers.
This and much more to discover in issue 35 of Scenografia&Costume, now online.

Behind the scenes of cinema, theatre and television
Founded in 2012 by Lorenzo Baraldi, Alida Cappellini and Giovanni Licheri, Scenografia&Costume (Production&Costume Design Mag) is the magazine published by ASC (the Italian Association of Production, Costume Designers and Set Decorators).
The magazine deals with cinema, theater and television from a privileged point of view: they are the hidden creators of films, put on scenes and TV programs to tell their work their own career.
Over the years, Scenografia&Costume (Production&Costume Design Mag) has expanded its interests, treating not only what happens in Italy but crossing the borders and looking to Europe and, further, to the whole world.
From December 2019 our mag will be published also in a digital version, to reach new readers and to be consulted in the most agile way at any time.
