Program Description:

This course explores the representation of the Italian cinematic city, a key element to fully understanding national cinema from the end of World War II to the present. Students are able to examine these concepts through both film screenings and actual site visits of locations depicted in the films. Specific topics include: the ruinous bombed out cities and the post war urban crisis, the monumental city and its expanding peripheries, and massive modernization brought by the economic miracle followed by tourism and globalization.
Estimated Course Fee: $4,960
