This is an original German cinema poster for “Es begann in Neapel” (It Started in Naples, 1960), starring Clark Gable, Sophia Loren and Vittorio De Sica and directed by Melville Shavelson. The poster was printed in the German A1 format (approx. 58 × 84 cm) for the German theatrical release. The design features a large full-figure illustration of Sophia Loren in the foreground, with Clark Gable illustrated on the right side, set against a stylized Italian coastal landscape. The artwork is typical of early 1960s European illustrated film posters, with bright colors, elegant typography and a clean graphic layout. Posters featuring Sophia Loren and Clark Gable are very collectible, especially European illustrated posters from the 1960s, which often feature artwork different from the American posters. German illustrated posters from the 1960s are popular among collectors due to their distinctive artistic style and limited print runs.
