Viva L'Italia
To celebrate the centenary of Italy, the Italian government commissioned Rossellini to make a biopic of Giuseppe Garibaldi, one that would follow his exploits with 'The Thousand' and their role in the country's unification. Rossellini presents the main character in neo-realist mode, as though making a documentary.
