Autographed Photo Massimo Ceccherini – Pieraccioni Photocall – COA Included

Massimo Ceccherini's autographed photograph: at the photocall of a Leonardo Pieraccioni film

A large-format color photograph shows Massimo Ceccherini crouching in front of the maxi poster of the film E vissero felici e contenti? by Leonardo Pieraccioni, a long-time friend and artistic companion of the Florentine actor. The shot, measuring 29.9x20.3 cm, captures Ceccherini with a cap and dark shirt, in a funny and surprised expression typical of his comedic verve. The original autograph, applied with a blue marker in a broad and flowing stroke, is clearly visible in the upper left part of the image. A collector's item for those who loved the famous comedies signed by the Pieraccioni-Ceccherini duo and for those who follow the career of one of Italy's most eclectic and appreciated actors and screenwriters, recently nominated for an Oscar.

The artist: Massimo Ceccherini

Massimo Ceccherini was born in Florence on May 23, 1965, the son of a painter. After starting as a comedian in a duo with Alessandro Paci as I Duemendi, he made his film debut in 1990 in Benvenuti in casa Gori by Alessandro Benvenuti. Great success came in 1996 with Il ciclone by Leonardo Pieraccioni, which earned him a nomination for a David di Donatello and a Nastro d'Argento as best supporting actor, beginning a long artistic collaboration and personal friendship with the Florentine director, which continued in numerous films including Fuochi d'artificio, Il principe e il pirata and Ti amo in tutte le lingue del mondo. Also active as a director with films such as Lucignolo, in 2001 he hosted the Sanremo Festival alongside Raffaella Carrà. In recent years he has collaborated with Matteo Garrone in Il racconto dei racconti and Pinocchio, and in 2024 he received an Oscar nomination for Best Original Screenplay for Io Capitano, confirming himself as one of the most versatile and respected figures in contemporary Italian cinema.

What is an original autographed photograph?

A genuine autographed photograph is a unique piece where the artist's signature has been applied directly to the print, without intermediaries or mechanical reproductions. It can be recognized by verifiable elements such as the irregular pressure of the stroke, the three-dimensionality of the ink on the paper, and the spontaneity of the graphic gesture, elements absent in printed or facsimile signatures. In addition to these, a free MTM Letter of Authenticity (LOA) is provided, with the possibility of a third-party COA for internationally recognized protection. The value of an autographed photograph increases over time in relation to the popularity and artistic relevance of the signatory.
