Rome and its cultural background (1944-1968)
It’s a long journey in the cultural background enriching the precious lifestyle in Rome: from the Golden period of Neorealism that largely influenced Literature and Cinema during the years of the so-called Dolce Vita, between the Fifties and Sixties, up to 1968, the year of the global protest against society. It’s a 20 year historical and cultural description told through films and photos of extraordinary protagonists such as Gadda, Zavattini, Moravia, Fellini, Guttuso and Pasolini (just to mention a few of them).
