The capital is Milan. One-sixth of Italy's population lives in Lombardy and about one fifth of Italy's GDP is produced in this region, making it the most populous and richest region in the. He is married to Loredana Detto, who played Antonietta Masetti in Il Posto Il Posto is an Italian film directed by Ermanno Olmi.
Olmi's films fit into the artistic mold of Italian neorealism Italian neorealism is a style of film characterized by stories set amongst the poor and working class, filmed on location, frequently using nonprofessional actors. Italian neorealist films mostly contend with the difficult economical and moral conditions of post-World War II Italy, reflecting the changes in the Italian psyche and the conditions of, though Olmi would argue (and does argue, in an interview found on the Criterion Edition DVD of his 1961 film, Il Posto Il Posto is an Italian film directed by Ermanno Olmi) that this is the artistic tradition he is responding against because, he claimed, he used non-actors in authentic locations whereas neorealism used professional actors. However, many neorealist directors also used non-professional actors for secondary and sometimes even primary roles. His films, like most of those considered to be products of the neorealist movement, are shot in long, slow takes In cinematography, a take refers to each filmed "version" of a particular shot or "setup". Takes of each shot are generally numbered starting with "take one" and the number of each successive take is increased until the filming of the shot is completed, and generally contain some sort of social commentary Social commentary is the act of rebelling against an individual, or a group of people by rhetorical means. This is most often done with the idea of implementing or promoting change by informing the general populace about a given problem and appealing to people's sense of justice, though rarely do the neorealists wear their political opinions on their sleeves. Another film was I fidanzati.
Perhaps his most important film is The Tree of Wooden Clogs (L'Albero degli zoccoli), which was awarded the Palme d'Or The Palme d'Or is the highest prize awarded to competing films at the Cannes Film Festival.
