These famous design ideas were created by the publicist Edoardo Ezio Pizzi, the man who handled all publicity and press relations for Unidis and Jolly Films with Studio Pizzi, Largo Messico, Rome. At the time, Pizzi was working freelance for 20th Century Fox in Italy and hired Sicilian artist Michelangelo Papuzza to complete the renderings. Here are some of those early Star Wars concept illustrations done for the Italian poster advertisement campaign by Papuzza. Some of the cartoon-like designs made it into the final artwork used for the photobusta and due fogli film posters.
