Dictators understood early on the importance of cinema as a means of propaganda, among them Italian Benito Mussolini. In 1937, he founded the huge Cinecittá studio complex in Rome, which could even accommodate the squares and auditoriums of ancient Rome.
A recent document repeats the history of the Cinecitta, but all the more so of the entire post-war history of Italy, to which the film city is essentially linked. Even when you didn’t want to go there to shoot.

Italian neorealism was born, one of the most important trends in film history. Its best-known output is Rossellin’s Rome – an open city.
Hour the length of the documentary is regrettably short, and it doesn’t go beyond modern or near, but stops at the 1960s, when the Italian film industry swelled to incredible proportions. The last film to be shown is Federico Fellinin La Dolce Vita (1960), where the legendary Via Veneto in Rome was staged in the Cinecitta studio.
Subsequent productions of Cinecittá are worth mentioning Mel Gibson The Passion of the ChristHBO Romeseries as well Paolo Sorrentino Popeseries for which the Sistine Chapel, among others, was built in the studio. But these are not mentioned in the document.
The subject would have deserved an entire series. The documentary does not even give a full idea of the dimensions of the studio.
