The Cinema of Italy
The Italian film industry began a few months after the first public presentation by the Lumiere brothers, on December 28th 1895 in Paris. After World War II the Italian cinema will become one of the most influential and prized worldwide. The new art form was brought to Italy by the Lumieres during 1896. In March 1896 the first movies arrived in Rome, then in Milan, in Naples in April, in June in Livorno and in August in Bergamo, Ravenna and Bologna. In Pisa, the oldest and still operating Italian movie theatre, The Cinema Lumiere, was built in 1899.

Their reunion is bittersweet, however, as Antonio has married another woman.
BOCCACCIO '70: SPECIAL EDITION (1962)
