Milano Films was an Italianfilm production company of thesilent era. Founded inMilan in 1908, it was one of the leading Italian film companies of the 1910s employing directors such asBaldassarre Negroni andAugusto Genina and actors includingLina Millefleurs,Mercedes Brignone andPina Menichelli.[1]
Milano was unusual in refusing to join theconglomerateUnione Cinematografica Italiana in 1919. It continued its own production programme until the late 1920s, but slowly declined in importance.[1] By the time the company closed, the Italian film industry was in a general crisis.
In 1909 the company constructed theBovisa Studios, at the time amongst the best in Europe.[1] The studios continued to be used sporadically by other companies after Milano's demise, although filmmaking was increasingly centralised inRome.
