The film:

The film is a 35 meters long fragment, the remainder of a strongly decayed print, enough though to let us recognize the diva Pina Menichelli, here happy bride first and then melancholy loner. A sign on the print has allowed to identify it as the film Gemma di Sant’Eremo, a title that according to Vittorio Martinelli, reveals the reshaped version of La colpa, played two years before by the Italian diva and never distributed for censorship reasons. 

 

The film restoration:

The fragment of Gemma di Sant’Eremo, 35 meters long, was preserved by the Museo Nazionale del Cinema di Torino and it was struck by a badly decayed tinted positive nitrate held by the Museum. 10 black frames have been inserted in the place of totally colliquated images.

The preservation work was carried out in 2012 by L’Immagine Ritrovata laboratory in Bologna.
