Klappentext Drawing on revelatory new material on the artist's personal and professional life abroad, Orson Welles in Italy chronicles Italian cinema's transition from the social concerns of neorealism to the alienated characters in films such as Federico Fellini's La Dolce Vita, amid the cultural politics of postwar Europe and the beginnings of the cold war. "This is a path-breaking study that will be useful both to Welles scholars and to students of Italian cinema." - James O. Naremore, author of The Magic World of Orson Welles "Anile's carefully documented and illustrated chronicle promises to overturn - or at the very least, challenge - certain received ideas about Welles's European reputation by revealing that it was in some ways as checkered and as ambivalent as his reputation in the US." - Jonathan Rosenbaum, author of Discovering Orson Welles Zusammenfassung Depicts the artist's life and work in Italy.
