One of the most beloved Italian films, Bellissima stars Magnani as a working-class mother who will sacrifice anything—including the family’s meager finances—to turn her young daughter into a movie star. (108 mins., 35mm) In the delightful comedy The Peddler and the Lady, Magnani plays a green grocer in the famed Roman market Campo de’ Fiori (the film’s original title) who vies for the attention of the nearby fishmonger, played by Aldo Fabrizi. (95 mins., 35mm)
