Vittorio De Sica's SHOESHINE, the Ideal Filmic Complement to Raimondo Borea's Boys' Town of Italy Photo Essay, Plays at Film Forum This Month

June 14, 2024/ Jon Gartenberg

On October 17th, 2023, GME revisited, in honor of Italian-American Heritage Month, an indelible suite of images taken by Raimondo Borea, which documented the Boys’ Town of Italy in the early 1950s. Boys’ Town of Italy was a shelter created by Monsignor John Patrick Carroll-Abbing, an Irish priest working at the Vatican who witnessed the plights of homeless and orphaned children in Rome in the wake of World War II. Beginning this Friday, June 14th, and running through Thursday, June 27th, Vittorio De Sica’s SHOESHINE (1946) will play at Film Forum in a new 4K restoration by Martin Scorsese’s Film Foundation and Fondazione Cineteca di Bologna at L’Immagine Ritrovata, in association with Orium S.A. Restoration. Like Borea’s Boys’ Town of Italy photo essay, De Sica’s film chronicles the struggles of homeless and orphaned children in Italy after the war.
