In the rubble of a Rome which still smelled of gunpowder, Roberto Rossellini filmed Roma Città Aperta (Rome Open City), a film that stands as an inaugural moment in Italian Neorealism and as a hugely influential masterpiece in world cinema. Giulia Saccogna is the programmer of a new season of films at the BFI - Chasing the Real: Italian Neorealism - which will include a 4K restoration of Rome Open City. Tickets are available here.
