The middle day of the days counted, so one week of news cannot move it. The line under it is the last 390 days, one point a day.
Something wrong?He directed Bicycle Thieves, which a 1952 poll called the greatest film ever made, and helped invent the raw, street-level grammar that pulled cinema out of the studio and into the rubble of postwar Europe.

Born in Italy on 7 July 1901, De Sica became a leading figure in the neorealist movement, shooting stories of ordinary struggle with non-actors and available light. Sciuscià became the first foreign film recognized by the Academy, and its success alongside Bicycle Thieves led the Oscars to establish a permanent Best Foreign Film category. He won that award twice more - for Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow and Il giardino dei Finzi Contini - and earned a Best Supporting Actor nomination playing Major Rinaldi in the 1957 adaptation of A Farewell to Arms, a box office failure where his performance was called the lone bright spot. He died on 13 November 1974, four films richer in gold statues than most directors ever touch.
