SCIUSCIÀ

Vittorio De Sica

Vittorio De Sica (Sora, Italy, 1901 - Neully-sur-Seine, Nanterre, France, 1974) began working as an amateur actor as a young boy and became a true star in the 1930s, in particular thanks to films by Mario Camerini like What Scoundrels Men Are!, Mister Max and Department Store. Alongside his career as an actor, he also became a director, debuting with Red Roses. He became one of the pillars of neorealism with films like Shoeshine and Bicycle Thieves (both of which received an Oscar) and continued to make successful movies like Two Women, Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow and The Garden of the Finzi-Continis.
