Summary:After the fall of Fascism Italian intellectuals suddenly discovered their own country and their fellowcitizens, whom they only knew from the Fascist propaganda. Cinema, photography, reportage, prose narrative: all these techniques were used to understand the country that had lost the war. In the mid-Fifties a booming economy transformed Italy again. This survey considers the years 1944-1963, and looks in particular at the following authors: C.Levi, Pasolini, Calvino, Piovene, Bocca, Bianciardi, Mastronardi; and first of all, with a deeper insight, Zavattini.
