Le pellicole del Neorealismo come fonte documentaria per la conoscenza e valorizzazione dei contesti urbani e paesaggistici: il caso di Roma

The cinematography heritage belonging to Neorealism, for the first time in film history, represents a turning point in storytelling. In order to achieve this goal, in the decades after the Second World War, the directors chose to leave the studios, using as movie sets, the city neighborhoods, which best correspond to the needs of the narrative plot. From the foregoing, the essay aims to analyze few films (sets in Rome between the Forties and Sixties), in order to study the architectural heritage, which in the film plays the role of "real" set to the events. The research also purposes to investigate how these new interpretations and analyses can be useful to more proper conservation of the city suburbs heritage.
