It&#8217;s through the power of movies, after all, that many of us have experienced the frozen tundra of the arctic; the thick jungle of the equator; or the dessert storms of the Sahara. But more than just seeing a place, movies can also evoke local attitudes and culture. Popularised by a wealth of different productions, Italy is well known for its starring cinematic roles, from the glamour of La Dolce Vita to the neo-realism of Gomorrah. Before you head off on a trip to Italy, take a sneak peek inside the country with these essential Italian movies.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>La Dolce Vita, 1960<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-7987\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2017\/03\/rome-fontana-istock-ramberg-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Italian Movies\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/rome-fontana-istock-ramberg-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/rome-fontana-istock-ramberg-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/rome-fontana-istock-ramberg-330x220.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/rome-fontana-istock-ramberg-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/rome-fontana-istock-ramberg-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/rome-fontana-istock-ramberg.jpg 1698w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Centring on Marcello Rubini, a writer from a provincial family with literary ambitions, the film&#8217;s protagonist quickly tumbles from reporting on sybaritic celebrities to participating in their mad antics. Soon, the moral of the story becomes clear. Fellini, the movie&#8217;s director, takes pot-shots at moral weakness, the godlessness and materialism of the post-war world, and how the intellect is incapable of replacing the heart in any respect, in a manner that might remind viewers of T. S. Eliot&#8217;s Waste Land (1921).<\/p>\n<p><em>Watch: For clips of a black and white Rome that drips with elegance and excess.

But morality aside, many will love the sheer sensuality of every scene, which drips with the opulence of Rome; its people; its desires. This means even when viewers flinch at the disenchantment, the sad epiphanies and profound sense of loss that permeates the film, they can always appreciate the aesthetic overload.<em><br \/>\n<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Watch: For an insight into the Italian soul.
