Viva l Italia is a documentary made after the event, trying to figure out what happened. l tried to pIace myself in front of the events of a century ago, the way a documentarist wouId have done who had the good fortune to foIIow GaribaIdi s campaign with his camera. Roberto Rossellini
To ceIebrate the centenary of ltaly, the Italian government commissioned Rossellini to make a biopic of Giuseppe Garibaldi, one that wouId follow his exploits with the Thousand and their roIe in the country s unification. RosseIlini approached the film as he had Francesco, giuIlare di Dio, presenting the main character in neo-reaIist mode, as though making a documentary.
Restored by Arrow Films from the original negative, this disc marks the first UK home video reIease of Viva l Italia in any format, allowing EngIish-speaking audience to discover another RosselIini cIassic. |
