During the three-month exhibit NeoRealismo: The New Image in Italy, 1932-1960, we will offer the special program Italian Cinema and NeoRealismo, featuring a lecture and a film series presented by Dr. Karen D. Antonelli.
Rome, Open City is considered the cornerstone of Italian Neorealism. Spliced together with whatever pieces of 35mm film he could get his hands on, and shot while foreign troops still walked the nation’s capital at the end of World War II, Roberto Rossellini created a film that is consistently considered one of the most important in the history of Italian cinema.
In addition to placing this film in its historical context, we will look at the symbolism which is prevalent throughout it: from Michelangelo’s Pietà to Romulus establishing a new but damaged Rome.
