Now on YouTube: (1976 – Italy) Acqua Sangemini (Monochrome) Enhanced Version
This is an enhanced version of one of the monochrome commercials for Sangemini, an Italian brand of water, that aired in its native Italy in 1976, from YouTube channel acquasangemini. The slogan, "Acqua della nuova vita," appears to mean "water from new life". Yes, many of the commercials for Sangemini that aired in the 1970s were monochrome. In fact, I learned on YouTube that unlike here in America, when movies and TV shows and commercials in color had become a regular practice, even in the 1970s, it still wasn't rare for Italian commercials to be black-and-white.
I modified this video with Adobe software in November and December 2022. I saturated and slightly sharpened the footage, and removed much of the dust & dirt from it on Premiere Pro; and reduced the grain noise on After Effects.

Enhanced Version
This is the second monochrome video that I enhanced. The first was one of the first few commercials for Carnation Instant Breakfast that aired here in America in 1965, the year it was introduced. I modified that video in June 2020.
