Umberto D.

Following opening credits and a dedication to his father, director Vittorio De Sica introduces his title character, a professor and non-actor, Carlo Battisti, in post-war Rome, in Umberto D., 1952.

Having sneaked away from his bed where he's feigning illness, Carlo Battisti (title character) sells his prized books, then enlists Maria (Maria Pia Casillo) to urge the landlady (Lina Gennari) to accept partial payment, in Vittorio De Sica's Umberto D., 1952.

Carlo Battisti (title character) returns home to find the landlady (Lina Gennari) is renting out his room by the hour, seeking support from servant Maria (Maria Pia Casillo), early in director Vittorio De Sica's Umberto D., 1952.
