It is an adaptable ancillary tool geared towards both high school and college instruction as well as towards adult education. It is comprised of fifteen chapters, one for each of the fifteen selected movies.
The films include: Roma, città aperta, Ladri di biciclette, Divorzio all’italiana, Il Decameron, and Tre fratelli
