English abstract
After 1975, the increasing popularity of hard-core magazines in Italy has contributed to the growth of a specific cinematic audience with a 'penchant' for pornography. Italian 'popular' cinema of the time was characterized as well by a sexual 'escalation' that brought the limits of representation slightly beyond soft core. Through a historical survey of Italian hard core magazines and through the analysis of a few controversial movies, this article describes the process through which some peculiar characteristics of Italian 'erotic culture' of the 1970s have to some extent prepared the hard-core cinematic production of the following decade.
