In Sorrentino\u2019s La Grande Bellezza<\/i>, Rome, experienced in a decadent and sinful way, is not a backdrop but the protagonist in Jep\u2019s life. Rome (and Proust) are the cause of empty depression. A lot of Sorrentino\u2019s Rome is a version of the city that no tourist will ever explore, though in some ways it is possible to walk in the footsteps of Sorrentino and other great Italian directors to explore how Rome has influenced them. Test your memory by this virtual visit of some famous film locations in Rome<\/b>, or take the new thematic walk on the city\u2019s film history, Director\u2019s Cut: A Journey through Italian Cinema<\/b>, offered by Context Travel.<\/p>\n

Three famous film locations<\/b><\/h2>\n

Via Crispi: Bicycle Thieves<\/h3>\n

\"bicycle-thieves\"<\/p>\n

Vittorio De Sica\u2019s masterpiece of Italian Neorealism,<\/b> Bicycle Thieves<\/i> (1948) is about a poor father and son\u2019s search for a stolen bicycle that is essential to the father\u2019s job. The scene in which Antonio\u2019s bicycle is stolen was filmed on the corner between Via Francesco Crispi and via Capo le Case. The late 16th<\/sup>-century church of S.Giuseppe a Capo le Case is a recognizable landmark. The action proceeds in via del Traforo, an area that has changed dramatically with the post-war reconstruction.<\/p>\n
