L'India vista da Rossellini 1959 Directed by Roberto Rossellini
Series of programs broadcast on RAI TV in Italy showing footage shot by Roberto Rossellini in India. Rossellini stayed in India for almost 9 months, refusing to look at famous monuments and rather preferring to take a non-exotic view of India, by looking at lives of common persons. The Indian stay of Roberto led to two works, a documentary film India – Matri Bhumi (1959) and a TV mini-series India vista da Rossellini (India seen by Rossellini, 1959) broadcasted on Italian RAI channel.
