Details

• Release Year: 1961
• Genre: Comedy, Drama, Romance
• Plot: 'Viva l'Italia is a documentary made after the event, trying to figure out what happened. I tried to place myself in front of the events of a century ago, the way a documentarist would have done who had the good fortune to follow Garibaldi's campaign with his camera.' - Roberto Rossellini; ; 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 a spectacle-filled recreation of the period, while maintaining the approach of his earlier The Flowers of St. Francis, presenting his characters in a neo-realist mode.; ; Restored by Arrow Films from the original negative, this disc marks the first North Americanhome video release of Viva l'Italia in any format, allowing English-speaking audiences to discover another Rossellini classic.;
