Roberto Rossellini (1906–1977) was an Italian director and a founding figure of postwar neorealism. His films shot in war-ravaged Italy and Germany, beginning with Rome, Open City, shaped modern realist cinema. His later intimate dramas and historical television-style works influenced the French New Wave.
