This episode of Bits and Bites on Italian Cinema... and Other Stuff explores Napoli, New York, Gabriele Salvatores’ latest film, born from a forgotten treatment by Federico Fellini and Tullio Pinelli. Salvatores shapes this long-lost idea into a three-part cinematic voyage, from postwar Naples to an imagined New York. Blending Neorealism with fable, the film is a meditation on migration, childhood, hope, and the enduring search for freedom. Evoking both Fellini’s spirit and Salvatores’ own poetic vision, Napoli, New York becomes a reflection on the past and a gesture of solidarity in the present. A tribute, a dream, a rediscovery.
