Journey to Italy

Journey to Italy, also known as Voyage to Italy (Italian: Viaggio in Italia) is a 1954 Italian drama film directed by Roberto Rossellini and starring Ingrid Bergman and George Sanders. The film has English dialogue; the Italian version was originally cut. It is loosely based on the novel Duo by Colette.

Journey to Italy is considered by many to be Rossellini's finest work.

Plot

Alex and Katherine Joyce (Sanders and Bergman) are a couple from England who have traveled to Italy to sell a large property near Naples that they have recently inherited. Alex is a workaholic businessman, given to brusqueness and sarcasm. Katherine is more sensitive, and the journey has evoked poignant memories of a poet friend, Charles Lewington, now deceased.

Within days of their arrival, the couple's relationship starts to disintegrate amid mutual misunderstandings and a degree of jealousy on both sides. Things become so strained that they agree to divorce, but following a visit to Pompeii, they get caught up in a religious procession in Naples that - as it seems, miraculously — rekindles their love for each other.

Viaggio in Italia (album)

Viaggio in Italia is the sixteenth studio album by the Italian singer-songwriter Alice, released in 2003 by NUN Entertainment.

Viaggio in Italia started as a tour project in 2001 called Le parole del giorno prima ("The Words of The Day Before"), an hommage to some of Italy's foremost cantautori, singer-songwriters and lyricists, among them Ivano Fossati, Fabrizio De André, Francesco De Gregori, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Lucio Battisti, Franco Battiato, Manlio Sgalambro and Giorgio Gaber, mainly covering material from the 1970s and the early 1980s but interpreted with contemporary musical arrangements and an emphasis on the lyrical values of the songs. The theme was poetry in popular music and it later developed to include two English language titles, on Viaggio in Italia both sung as duets with singer-songwriter Tim Bowness of the British progressive rock band No-Man; Peter Sinfield and Robert Fripp's "Islands" from King Crimson's album Islands and James Joyce's poem "Golden Hair", as set to music by the Pink Floyd member Syd Barrett and first recorded on his 1970 firsut solo album The Madcap Laughs.
