Usage Note
Locandina refers specifically to a printed promotional poster for a film, theatre show, or event — the kind you see displayed outside a cinema or pasted on walls. It is distinct from manifesto (a larger political or commercial billboard) and volantino (a handbill/leaflet). The plural is locandine. In modern Italian it is the standard word for a movie poster.
