What's left behind the scenes

  • Rossellini began filming the movie two months after the fascists left Rome in June 1944.
  • A real Nazi prisoner of war played a role in the film.
  • Roberto Rossellini, Federico Fellini, and Sergio Amidei began working on the script during the German occupation of Italy. However, in his memoirs, Fellini claims that Rossellini suggested he "participate in writing a script for a film that would later be titled 'Rome, Open City'" only after Rome had been occupied by the Americans.
  • All the atrocities in the film are attributed to the Germans. This was due to the policy of national reconciliation that was relevant in Italy during the filming.
  • After reviewing the film, the distributor refused the contract for its distribution, stating that what he had seen could not be called a film. However, abroad, Rossellini's innovation was "sampled" and duly appreciated. The film had a great resonance around the world, starting a trend for neorealism and making Anna Magnani a star of the first magnitude.
  • The prototype for Pina was the partisan anti-fascist Teresa Gullace, killed by the Germans in Rome in 1944.
  • During the filming of the arrest scene, the fear on the face of Don Pietro was genuine: a man with a revolver from a passing taxi tried to interfere with the "arrest." Aldo Fabrizi shouted, "Don't shoot!"
