I chose to write about Vittorio De Sica‚ one of the founders of Italian Neorealism. I wanted him to be my subject because I particularly liked the scenes from his movies when we were shown in class. Coming of age has always been one of my favorite genres‚ so seeing that two of his films were coming of age stories made me interested.
