Looks like a Bodoni, perhaps a poster Bodoni.

Actually, it might be Didoni: http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/urw/didoni/

The bottom italics is something else, like a Garamond.

Nah, the bottom one is a fat Caslon — check the typical capital ’A’.

Top one is indeed Didoni, the digitized version of the fat face classic Pistilli Roman.

close... I get Caslons and Garamonds mixed up all the time. 50/50 still isn’t bad.
