Signed Photograph Valerio Mastandrea – Diabolik Manetti Bros – Ginko – 27.4x20.2 cm – COA Available

Autographed photo of Diabolik with Valerio Mastandrea

An unmissable relic for fans of Italian cinema and comics: the photo from the Manetti Bros.' Diabolik film, autographed by Valerio Mastandrea, who plays Inspector Ginko. The image captures the iconic noir atmosphere of the film, with the three protagonists in the foreground – a masked Diabolik with a dagger, Eva Kant, and Ginko himself – against the backdrop of the map of the state of Clerville. The warm colors and blood-red title evoke the retro charm of the Giussani sisters' comic masterpiece brought to the big screen. The original autograph, applied with a blue marker in the top left corner on Mastandrea's figure, is clear and legible. A collector's item dedicated to one of the most anticipated Italian films of recent years.

The protagonist: Valerio Mastandrea

Valerio Mastandrea (Rome, February 14, 1972) is one of the most esteemed and versatile Italian actors of his generation. After entering cinema in the 1990s, he achieved recognition with Tutti giù per terra, then built a career full of successes and accolades. He has won four David di Donatello awards for La prima cosa bella, Gli equilibristi, Viva la libertà, and Fiore, naturally alternating between dramatic and ironic registers. A favorite interpreter of directors such as Paolo Virzì, Paolo Genovese, and Nanni Moretti, since 2021 he has played Inspector Ginko in the Manetti Bros.' Diabolik trilogy, alongside Luca Marinelli and Miriam Leone. A director with Ride and Nonostante, he is also the voice of the Armadillo in Zerocalcare's animated series. Nicknamed the Fourth King of Rome, he embodies an authentic idea of Roman identity.

What is an original autographed photograph?

An original autographed photograph is a shot on which the subject has personally placed their signature, directly and not reproduced. It is distinguished from prints or facsimiles by verifiable elements: the irregular pressure of the stroke, the three-dimensionality of the ink on the surface, the spontaneity of the graphic gesture. In addition to these elements, the MTM Letter of Authenticity (LOA) is included free of charge, with the option to add the COA for internationally recognized protection. The collectible value of an autographed photograph grows over time in relation to the signer's career and popularity.
