Titanus

Titanus is an Italian film production company, founded in 1904 by Gustavo Lombardo (1885-1951). The company's headquarters are located at 28 Via Sommacampagna, Rome and its studios on the Via Tiburtina, 13 km from the centre of Rome.

Lombardo ran the studios until his death in 1951. His son, Goffredo Lombardo (1920-2005) and later his grandson, Guido Lombardo have continued to run the company.

The company has been responsible for hundreds of Italian productions, including some of the most popular or important films in Italian cinema.

The flops of Robert Aldrich "Sodom and Gomorrah" ((1963) and the big budget spent in Luchino Visconti's "Il Gattopardo" were the causes of the stop of producing films in 1964
