CINEMA
With the invention of cinema, humanity
realized one of its greatest dreams: the
reproduction of reality on the screen led to the formation of a new world of images. The Italian cinema celebrated its first shooting in 1886 and in the early years, cinema developed
slowly in both Rome and Turin. But this changed when in 1930 the Cinecittà studio
opened its doors in the eternal city of Rome. Soon after, in 1932 the Venice Film
Festival was inaugurated, to this day, it is one of the world most famous and glamorous film events of the year.
Perhaps the most famous example of the golden years of Italian cinema is Federico Fellini’s “La dolce vita”, where Anita Ekberg took her famous bath in the Trevi fountain.
Starting from the 90s, a new generation of directors began reaching new heights with widely acclaimed masterpieces such as Roberto Benigni’s “La vita è bella” (1999), awarded with three Oscars, and Nanni Moretti’s “La stanza del figlio” (2002), which received the Golden Cannes Award.
