He found work at a well-known advertising design studio specializing in movie posters. He moved to Rome in 1954, just as it was becoming a favorite of international filmmakers, who took advantage of the city for its unparalleled setting, the production expertise at Cinecittà Studios and the allure of rising local stars like Sophia Loren. Casaro said he’d been “born with a paintbrush in my hand,” a natural talent who got better “with a lot of experience.”
