Erranti e impreviste. Donne che camminano sugli schermi e nelle città del cinema italiano

On the Italian silver screens as well as in the cities, the feminine bodies have been crossing the most various landscapes. In so doing, they have been tracing peculiar, often unpredicted trajectories, as unpredicted and forbidden their presence was, if not accompanied by a man, in the spaces of the streets. This essay aims at proposing a first glance on these walking women, crossing the steps described in feminine writings to those appearing in films, from the Thirties to the aftermath of the war.
