Italian Masterpieces - Roma Città Aperta

Roma Città Aperta is an Italian neorealist drama film directed by Roberto Rossellini. It is about the nazi occupation in Rome in 1944.
The film became so important that brought international attention to Italian cinema and is considered a quintessential example of Neorealism in film.
Rossellini filmed other important neorealist movies such as Paisà and Germania Anno Zero that, together with Roma Città Aperta, it is called Rossellini's "Neorealist Trilogy".
I decided to create a collage taking one of the most important scene, where Pina (Anna Magnani) is murdered while she was running towards her future husband Francesco.
The frame where Don Pietro (Aldo Fabrizi) holds Pina reminds the Michelangelo's masterpiece Pietà where Jesus is on the lap of his mother Mary after the Crucifixion.
