Items related to Orson Welles in Italy
Fleeing a Hollywood that spurned him, Orson Welles arrived in Italy in 1947 to begin his career anew. Far from being welcomed as the celebrity who directed and starred in Citizen Kane, his six-year exile in Italy was riddled with controversy, financial struggles, disastrous love affairs, and failed projects. Alberto Anile's book depicts the artist's life and work in Italy, including his reception by the Italian press, his contentious interactions with key political figures, and his artistic output, which culminated in the filming of Othello. Drawing on revelatory new material on the artist's personal and professional life abroad, Orson Welles in Italy also 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.

About the Author:
Review:
Alberto Anile is an Italian film critic and journalist. He is author of several books and essays about director Roberto Rossellini and comedy actor Totò. His last book (with Maria Gabriella Giannice) concerns Luchino Visconti’s The Leopard.
Marcus Perryman is editor and translator (with Peter Robinson) of The Selected Poetry and Prose of Vittorio Sereni.
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)
