Roberto Gastone Zeffiro Rossellini[1][2] (8 May 1906 – 3 June 1977) was an Italian film director, screenwriter and producer. He was one of the most prominent directors of the Italian neorealist cinema, contributing to the movement with films such as Rome, Ope Italian filmmaker. Roberto Rossellini was born into a well-educated, vivacious bourgeois family in Rome. His self-proclaimed "zest to understand" the world around him was first cultivated by a salon of artists, writers, and musicians who filled the Rossellini family home each Sunday during his childhood and early adolescence. Curiously, a similar atmosphere of passionate intellectual and political discussion was re-created amid the desperation and poverty of World War II Rome, when refugees and political dissidents in hiding whiled away the time talking. In both instances, Rossellini gleaned a crucial education in ideas of history, culture, and truth, all of which would emerge as obsessive themes in his filmmaking. Throughout his early life, Rossellini loved and was deeply influenced by the movies he saw from directors as varied as Charlie Chaplin, King Vidor, and F. W. Murnau. Yet Rossellini was equally affected by the historical and political moment he lived in: while his father was a brazen antifascist, Rossellini was ambiguous a (1906–1977) Italian film director, known for his neorealist films and his controversial marriage to Ingrid Bergman. Rossellini, who was born in Rome, began as a writer, amateur film-maker, and a maker of fascist documentaries. One of his earliest features, Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune (1938), was banned as indecent; however, in the years immediately after World War II he emerged in the vanguard of the Italian neorealist movement. His first successful international film was the universally acclaimed Rome: Open City (1945), shot in the streets of Rome in quasi-documentary style. Although it starred Anna Magnani (1909–73), its cast was mainly nonprofessional. In a similar vein came Paisà (1946) and Germany, Year Zero (1947). Stromboli (1949) brought him and his future wife, Ingrid Bergman, together but the public outcry that surrounded their affair and marriage (1950) led to their films being banned in several countries. Rossellini had by now departed from the neorealism of his earlier successes with L'amore (1948), again starring Magnani. Rossellini and B
