Fleeing a Hollywood that spurned him, Orson Welles arrived in Italy in 1947 to begin his career anew. Far from being welcomed as the celebrity who directed and starred in
Citizen Kane
, his six-year exile in Italy was riddled with controversy, financial struggles, disastrous love affairs, and failed projects. Alberto Anile's book depicts the artist's life and work in Italy, including his reception by the Italian press, his contentious interactions with key political figures, and his artistic output, which culminated in the filming of
Othello
. Drawing on revelatory new material on the artist's personal and professional life abroad,
Orson Welles in Italy
also chronicles Italian cinema's transition from the social concerns of neorealism to the alienated characters in films such as Federico Fellini's
La Dolce Vita
, amid the cultural politics of postwar Europe and the beginnings of the cold war.
