Summary/Abstract: This study examines Italian co-production films of popular genres produced in Barrandov studios in Prague and Czechoslovakian nature exteriors and metropolitan locations. The object of analysis are only Italian versions of three films directed by Alberto Cardone shot in co production with West Germany, France and Italy, an Italian film of the popular genre giallo all‘italiana (detective film in the Italian style) directed by Aldo Lado and unreleased co-production projects between Italy and Czechoslovakia in the period of the 1960s and 1970s. The analysis focuses on the genre, sociocultural, national, geographic, iconographic, industrial, production, co-production and distribution aspects of these films. With the exception of two unreleased films directed by Jiří Sequens, this study is not centred on released and unreleased co--productions in the work of Czechoslovakian directors and producers. This text takes an interdisciplinary point of view on popular genres of Italian cinema in the context of Czechoslovakian national, geographic and cultural conditions.
