Background
Luca Fortunato COMERIO (1878-1940) was an Italian photographer. In 1907 he won the Hernemann competition, and with the prize of 500 lire, he purchased a new Pathé film camera, with which he filmed the cruise made by King Vittorio Emanuele III in the Mediterranean. He was then appointed as the official photographer of the Royal House. In 1907 he built a small factory in Milan, home to film laboratories and two sound stages. He went on to create the largest photographic establishment of his time, Milano Film which included one of the largest film studios in Europe.
