"Stromboli" was the first one and quite famous as a Hollywood scandal. That's where Bergman (Ingrid, not Ingmar...) got pregnant with the film maker Rosellini while still married to her Swedish dentist husband baby sitting their daughter back in Hollywood while his wife enjoyed the Italian volcano island sun - and more. Recently bought and watched this one, with Bergman and George Sanders. Their married life is a disaster and they are going to Italy to close down more than their home inherited there. Let me quote some guy who put it right IMO: "Rossellini's masterstroke, 5 October 2001 Author: Dr_Shafea from Canada "Viaggio in Italia" is a unique experience, a beautiful work of art, and perhaps Rossellini's masterpiece, though I equally cherish GERMANY YEAR ZERO and FLOWERS OF ST. FRANCIS. It can best be viewed on the big screen in order to fully grasp its mysterious beauties. But, alas, it is not for every taste. The film was a commercial disaster when it opened. But those perceptive "Cahiers du Cinema" critics - Godard, Rivette, Rohmer, Truffaut - justly hailed it as a modern masterpiece and placed in their list of ten best films of all time. Ingrid Bergman and George Sanders are nothing short of brilliant as the feuding British couple who travel to Naples to close their holiday home. Rossellini's breathtaking documentary scenes in the Mediterranean background are perfectly melded with the fictional story of the couple and their state of mind. It all comes down to that final miraculous moment that no written words can describe. Subtle, mysterious and beautiful, "Viaggio" ranks with the finest works in cinema. imdb.com
