The Committee of the Dante Alighieri Society of Brussels has a cycle of films on the Risorgimento selected and introduced by Professor Beatrice BARBAL (Université Catholique de Louvain) and Prof. Fabien Gerard (Université Libre de Bruxelles).
The first film in the series, Viva Italy (1960), directed by Roberto Rossellini is made in the atmosphere of celebration of the centenary of Italian unification. Garibaldi is a myth. In particular moments in Italian history has gone along with this myth the emphasis of the call for volunteers in the war, the cult of the martyrs of the homeland.
In the '70s we interogó intellectuals on the relationship / people on the differences from north to south, on the report language / dialect. The films of recent years - the heirs of Visconti's Senso (which the director had called Custoza the famous defeat of Piedmont, a title that the complaint did not pass) - have enabled a better understanding of the complexity of the process unit escaping to a certain rhetoric and subjecting to criticism the extreme exaggeration of the sense of nation, that can lead to nationalism.
