L'India vista da Rossellini (1959)

Series of programs broadcast on RAI TV in Italy showing footage shot by Roberto Rossellini in India. Rossellini stayed in India for almost 9 months, refusing to look at famous monuments and rather preferring to take a non-exotic view of India, by looking at lives of common persons. The Indian stay of Roberto led to two works, a documentary film India – Matri Bhumi (1959) and a TV mini-series India vista da Rossellini (India seen by Rossellini, 1959) broadcasted on Italian RAI channel.
