The Atlante of the “Golden Age” of Italian Animation is one of the central components of the project. Curated by Marco Bellano — researcher at the University of Padua and one of the leading Italian scholars in this field — it is a comprehensive and detailed mapping of twenty years of animated production in Italy, encompassing short films, feature films, television series, advertising films, and experimental works.

The structure of the Atlante is designed to help users navigate an extremely diverse landscape: through three main pathways — directors, studios, and films — users can access brief biographical profiles of the authors, detailed work entries, and hypertext links that interconnect directors, productions, and contexts. The result is a dynamic overview that captures the richness, complexity, and interconnected nature of a sector that, between 1957 and 1977, experienced extraordinary vitality.
