Ciociaria in cinematography

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ciociaria in cinematography is an artistic topic of many Italian films. The region is often represented as a great area of epicurean feelings , where each town is too small to have a strong identity, but it's developed enough to promote civic virtues as well.

Many writers went in province of Frosinone and in province of Latina like Pasolini or Moravia; in the countries nearby in south of Rome they found the social and literary justification of many vices and habits of the capital: in the same artistic current De Sica, Manfredi and other authors developed a series of topoi that gived a new meaning to the real storiografic term "Ciociaria" to represent neorealism or other poetics.

Now many film in Italy refers to that sets of cinematography's history, like they refers also to the Sicilian ones, the Neapolitan ones, or Romagna ones in Fellini's works.
