Francis Ford Coppola, Quentin Tarantino, but also Sergio Leone, Franco Zeffirelli and Dario Argento. These are just some of the directors connected to Renato Casaro, the last of the great movie poster artists: he would have turned 90 on October 26, but he passed away during the night between September 29 and 30 in the hospital of Treviso, where he had been admitted for bronchopneumonia. He created some of the most iconic posters in cinematic history, both ancient and modern, over a career that spanned Hollywood's history like few others. His posters include those for Sergio Leone's masterpiece "Once Upon a Time in America", "The Name of the Rose" (Jean-Jacques Annaud), and "Once Upon a Time in... Hollywood", Quentin Tarantino's last film. Self-taught, Renato Casaro first trained in drawing without a teacher, by observing his reference artists, including other poster illustrators of the time, in particular Norman Rockwell and Angelo Cesselon, whose works he tried to replicate for practice. A fragment of Italian art is lost with him, and cinema mourns the passing of another precious figure.
