The film follows the fate of several Romans during the last days of the German occupation. Central to the film are Aldo Fabrizi’s Don Pietro, a priest dedicated to helping members of the resistance and the heart-rending performance of Anna Magnani as Pina. Rome, Open City is considered as a major turning point in film history and as a testament to the film’s lasting impact, Jean-luc Godard famously said “All roads lead to Rome Open City”.
