Abstract

Italian cinema of the 1960s chronicles, with ever‑growing frequency, situations pertaining to sexuality and eroticism which attest to the profound metamorphoses that have occurred in the private sphere of individuals during the period of the ‘great transformation’ (1958‑1963) and its aftermath. This paper seeks to dissect the interplay between cinema and eroticism by charting a precise trajectory marked by four stages, each tethered to one or more films—all ascribable to the so‑called ‘commedia all’italiana’—chosen on the basis of their emblematic nature.
