Gente del Po
1947 Italian film
Gente del Po, sometimes referred to in English as People of the Po Valley, is an Italian documentary short film directed by Michelangelo Antonioni in 1943 and released in 1947. It was Antonioni's debut film and is, together with Luchino Visconti's Ossessione, considered to be one of the earliest examples of Italian neorealism.[1][2] Gente del Po documents people living on or near the Po river, including barge workers and fishermen.
