Looking at paintings by Annigoni of the post-war period reminded me of the great films of the post-war Italian cinema. Vittorio De Sica ’s 1948 The Bicycle Thief , Federico Fellini ’s 1954 La Strada , Michelangelo Antonioni ‘s 1960 L'avventura , Pier Paolo Pasolini ’s 1961 Accattone , and many other films
