DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Vittorio De Sica Italy

His neorealist masterpieces like 'Bicycle Thieves' and 'Umberto D.' capture the struggles and dignity of ordinary southern Italians in post-war Naples and Rome.

 Luchino Visconti Italy

His epic 'The Leopard' and 'The Earth Trembles' are profound meditations on southern Italian history, aristocracy, and the Sicilian landscape and culture.
