So, in 1946, he saw the light the first NATIONAL EXHIBITION FILM PITCH REDUCED that over the years became INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL OF CINEMA OF SALERNO.

That historical edition was attended, among others, by Vittorio De Sica, Rossano Brazzi, Adriana Benetti, Maria Mercader and Mariella Lotti.

On that occasion, the projections were held not only in Salerno but also in Cava de' Tirreni, Positano and Amalfi.

[3] The Festival gave useful innovations to the cinema industry: Even in the cold halls of the Salerno hospitals, the enterprising founders, Ignazio Rossi, Matteo Della Corte, Achille Guglielmi and others, in carrying out their medical and surgical professions, did not forget the cinema; thus, now masters of the camera, they used it as a tool to deepen their operational techniques, taking advantage of a detailed vision of the work carried out and thus opening passionate discussions among themselves on how to improve and perfect their own activity.

Salerno, cradle of the "Medical School", launched to the world a new means of theoretical/practical didactic study.
