What is neorealism according to Rossellini? What does that controversial word mean for its supposed initiator? This essay answers this question by tracking down all the statements on the subject made by the Italian director from 1946 to 1972. Over time, in fact, Rossellini was often asked his opinion on the matter. And over time he has expressed a concept of neorealism that is certainly vague and nuanced, but coherent and decidedly personal. A concept marked by the willingness to be associated with neorealism as long as in his personal meaning of a moral position and interest for the human being. His own idea of neorealism, within which there is continuity throughout his work.

Abstract
What is neorealism according to Rossellini? What does that controversial word mean for its supposed initiator? This essay answers this question by tracking down all the statements on the subject made by the Italian director from 1946 to 1972. Over time, in fact, Rossellini was often asked his opinion on the matter. And over time he has expressed a concept of neorealism that is certainly vague and nuanced, but coherent and decidedly personal. A concept marked by the willingness to be associated with neorealism as long as in his personal meaning of a moral position and interest for the human being. His own idea of neorealism, within which there is continuity throughout his work.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
