What is an Italian two fogli movie poster? An Italian two fogli (or ‘two sheet’) is the standard Italian movie theatre poster format. The average two fogli measures 39×55 inches and most were folded prior to being distributed to cinemas. The large format was intended to attract viewers from a distance, and thanks to the high quality printing these posters are just as impressive when observed up close. Their size makes a very dramatic statement when displayed in the home or workplace.
