A newly restored version of Roberto Rossellini's classic film Viaggio in Italia (1954) will be screened in theaters across the United Kingdom. The film stars Ingrid Bergman, George Sanders, and Maria Mauban.
Journey to Italy has been recently restored by Cineteca di Bologna.
Official theatrical synopsis: A film that was hugely influential on the new wave of French cinema as well as being widely regarded as one of Roberto Rossellini's finest. Katherine Joyce (Ingrid Bergman, and wife of Rossellini at the time) and her husband Alex (George Sanders) are travelling around Italy on their way to a villa they have just inherited. Far from their London home, Katherine confesses to having had a secret lover and finds her husband becomes even more distant with her; to such an extent that they decide to finish their holiday apart from each other. Whilst Alex enjoys the company of other ex-pats on the island of Capri, Katherine tours around the sights of Naples and Pompeii. However, the different events they experience begin to bind them together.
