Tognazzi Archive

The Archivio Tognazzi was established in 2015 through a collaboration between the Municipality of Cremona and the Department of Musicology and Cultural Heritage at the University of Pavia. Its mission is to preserve, study and promote the documentary heritage of Ugo Tognazzi, one of the most influential figures in twentieth-century Italian cinema.

The archive collects and makes accessible photographs, documents, screenplays, posters, correspondence and other materials related to the actor’s life and career. Through its digital platform, these resources are progressively catalogued and made available, providing an invaluable resource for researchers, students and film enthusiasts while encouraging new perspectives on Tognazzi’s work and on Italian cinema.

Alongside its archival activities, the Archivio Tognazzi organises conferences, exhibitions, publications and public engagement initiatives, helping to preserve Ugo Tognazzi’s legacy and promote knowledge of his work both in Italy and internationally.
