Synopsis
In Miracolo a Milano, a poetic and neorealistic fantasy tale, Vittorio de Sica portrays the life of a kind man named Totò, who was found in a cabbage patch when he was a baby. The drama of a miserable childhood, unemployment and social exclusion Miracolo a Milano focuses all its time on the humble and the poor in a shantytown built on the outskirts of Milan. Vittorio de Sica, a leading figure in Italian cinema from the 1930s to the 1970s, was in the 1950s one of the greatest champions of the neorealism movement.. Ingenuous, Totò has the audacity to believe in a just world. De Sica addresses the post-war years, driven by a desire to contribute to the moral reconstruction of Italian society.
Restored by Fondazione Cineteca di Bologna and Compass Film, in collaboration with Mediaset, Infinity, Arthur Cohn, and Variety Communications.
