Italian upper class

Visconti's films like 'The Leopard' and 'Death in Venice' are quintessential explorations of Italian aristocratic decay, privilege, and moral corruption.

Fellini's 'La Dolce Vita' and '8½' dissect the emptiness and decadence of Rome's elite social circles with satirical brilliance.

Antonioni's 'L'Avventura' and 'La Notte' examine the alienation and moral ambiguity of the wealthy Italian bourgeoisie with austere precision.
