Neorealism in cinema through the memories, reconsiderations and regrets of those who contributed to creating it and making it vital that season. From the return to the changed set of Rome, open city to the interview with Pasolini on the set of Uccellacci e uccellini. Testimonies of Rossellini, Zavattini, Amidei, De Sica, Moravia, Bellocchio, Bertolucci and others dot a complex system of analysis of the texts and the strongest instances that have led Italian cinema to confront reality.
