Creators of timeless films, that will remain etched in the memory forever: Italy has seen the birth of some of the most important directors in the world. Linked by the common thread of Italian neorealism, let’s discover who are the most famous Italian directors of the twentieth century.

Who are the most famous Italian directors of the twentieth century? 

It would seem a trivial question, yet not banal. There are those who would say Federico Fellini, and would be right, who Sergio Leone, and would be equally right. The main thing to keep in mind is that cinema, as an art form, is certainly very subjective, although the objective component is sometimes undeniable. It is impossible, in fact, not to admit that some directors have inexorably marked the Italian film scene. So much to be remembered, looked at and studied even after almost a century.
