He pointed a camera at the rubble of postwar Italy and invented neorealism - then scandalized two continents by running off with Ingrid Bergman and turning her into his muse.

About this person

Roberto Gastone Zeffiro Rossellini was born in Rome on 8 May 1906. He became one of the most prominent directors of Italian neorealist cinema, shooting raw chronicles of a broken country: Rome, Open City in 1945, Paisan in 1946, Germany, Year Zero in 1948. Then he cast Ingrid Bergman - then his wife - and shifted register: Stromboli in 1950, Europe '51 in 1952, Journey to Italy in 1954, Fear the same year, Joan of Arc at the Stake in 1954. The marriage of Hollywood star and Italian auteur produced films that divided critics and redefined what a movie could ask of its audience. He died on 3 June 1977.
