Hopefully this can be considered an upgrade to this better-than-average little girl horror movie (popdrome's release has no sources anyway!). Source material was a dvdr with an English audio dub taken from a VHS release grafted on to the Italian DVD. This is my rip but credit should go to torrentguy for producing the excellent quality initial dvdr release.
Young Emily Williams (played by Nicoletta Elmi) has been acting very odd since her mother burned to death in a freak accident. Her father, art historian Michael Williams (Richard Johnson), believes that she is just grieving in her own way. Things begin to get worse when Michael travels with Emily and her nanny Jill (Ida Galli)to a village to film a TV show about a mysterious painting. This painting has a strange effect on his daughter. She becomes jealous of her father’s new lover, Joanna (played by Joanna Cassidy), and behaves erratically and violently as though possessed by a spirit. What's left of the Williams family seems doomed by a centuries old curse but Michael isn't ready to accept defeat and will fight for his daughter's soul.
Well, after Exorcist it has no sense for me to watch similar films, they are variations in one theme, with just unimportant changes (like another actress . I´m not a collector of cute faces.

LOL You sound like the little old lady who went to see a movie, but as soon as she saw the MGM lion roaring, got up and left, saying Oh, I've seen this one.

Hum, maybe, but the plot description seemed to me somehow "deja-vu".

OMG!!
I have purchased one wretched Italian 'giallo' movie after another JUST to view 5 mins of Nicoletta Elmi!! I have always been entranced by her freckles and beautiful smile...
A movie where she's one of the main characters? YES!!
One of the 'comments' that I read said something about it being a fusion of 'The Exorcist and 'The Omen', but it actually sounds a bit more like 'Manhattan Baby', being that Nicoletta becomes possessed when she puts on a medallion [of course, just part of a variation on a theme {possession} that has be done beyond measure]...
Thanks popdrome and loverboy for your releases!! I can't believe I missed this one.
Looks like it's out on DVD, which is also exciting to know!!
kev.

Please reshare ALIPTES' version
(The English audio release is almost complete and hopefully completes "itself" [thanks to anyone who is sharing it, though ])

Sadly, still no bluray release of this one. I have an upgrade though it took me a few days to get it.
No bluray, yet better, original quality, see:
