English translation:four sheet, two sheet
Explanation:
These are standard Italian movie poster sizes. Some publishers keep the Italian term "foglio", but I prefer to use "sheet" as it is more common in our language .

"ITALIAN TWO SHEET
Measure approx. 39″ x 55″. Almost always issued folded. The most common type of Italian movie poster. Also known as 2-Fogli. The standard Italian movie poster.

ITALIAN FOUR SHEET
Measure approx. 55″ x 78″. Almost always issued folded. Also known as 4-Fogli. This size poster always makes a statement and dominates a room.
