It's quite fascinating to see this old footage enhanced with color and sound. This must be the late 40's, after WWII. Maybe that is why it looks a little depressing, in stark contrast to the beauty of Italy today.

Ok, trying to narrow down the date somewhat. Rome has fallen so that makes this no earlier than June of 1944. You have what look like Italian soldiers in some of the footage. That's understandable as Italy switched sides in 1944. Florence is in Allied hands, so that footage was no earlier than August of '44. You have rest camps and an established beach resort for American servicemen. That suggests, but is not solid proof that the war might be over. You have some footage shot in obviously cooler weather and other in what looks like summer. If I had to take an educated guess, I'd say this was probably shot over a period of time in 1945. The war in Europe ended in May of 1945, but it would take several months for the drawdown in Allied military (some being demobilized and others packed off to the Pacific to fight Japan) to really get going. So liberated Europe was just packed with Allied soldiers, many of whom did what anyone in Italy with spare time would do; they went sight seeing and to the beach. I don't think you would have seen beaches and sightseeing troops around if there was still active fighting. The Italian campaign was quite the bloody slog right up to the end.

@mariorossi38984 ай бұрын
@jec1ny FYI, Italy "did not switch side" as you say, repeating an old parrot argument. Italy surrendered to the Allied officially on 08/09/1943 after realizing that the war was lost. Is that a crime or an act of wisdom to accept the fact that a country has lost a war? Germany had to be razed to the ground before doing what Italy did (to say nothing of japan that needed two atomic bombs to finally coming to the same conclusion) Immediately after the surrender, Nazi Germany invaded the peninsula and declared war to Italy. By consequence, the country was treated like any other occupied country. More than one and a half million Italian soldiers, who refused to fight alongside the Nazis, were deported to concentration camps in Germany and harshly treated. The country was looted of its still-functioning industries, movable assets, and military depots, which were emptied. The gold reserves of the Bank of Italy in Rome were seized and taken to Germany, with half disappearing as German trucks passed through Switzerland, which at the time was tacitly collaborating with the Nazis. Italian 40.000 Jews residing in Italy became targets, with more than a thousand deported to Auschwitz, and hundreds of civilians were massacred in reprisals against the Italian partisan movement. Meanwhile, the country was split in two, with the Allies occupying the south, where the King of Italy had taken refuge along with loyal troops who began defending the country as part of the Allied army. It was then that the Allies requested the King to declare war on Germany, which he did. The war ended in Italy on 25/04/1945. These video is surely from 1943-1944 because it shows the "liberated part of Italy, Rome and Tuscany. This is the story in brief, so I urge you to refrain from making stupid and offensive remarks like "Italy switched sides in 1944."

The ruins in Florence are the area of Via dei Bardi, next to Ponte Vecchio, blown up by the retreating Germans in August 1944 to prevent Allied troops from crossing the Arno after all the other bridges had been blown up. Fortunately, the Anglo-American troops were able to pass through the Vasari Corridor, an old secret passage, led by the Italian partisans. The "REST CAMP" is the Santa Maria Novella station, which in that period became a sort of recreational club for the Allied soldiers.

First scenes seem to be from Pompeii, if I'm not mistaken. Mom was in northern italy during the war, and it ended while she was a tween. Rome was a "citta di provincia" back then because it had a much smaller population. I bet it was wonderful once the war ended. Livorno was a vital port city and was turned into dust by allied bombing. Pity. The old city must have been very interesting. Pisa and Florence were likely much more lightly populated at the end of the war and must have been quite beautiful.

Ma fammi il piacere, i mafiosi sono all'ergastolo da un pezzo e i capi sono morti, ciò che resta della mafia investe nei paesi dove non c'è una legge antimafia.

Questo non è il 1940. Probabilmente è il 1945, il primo dopo guerra. Gli americani a Roma ci sonno arrivati solo nel 1944.

No overtourism, no chaotic and noisy traffic, no fast-food restaurants replacing traditional restaurants, just the local people going around and chatting and a few vehicles... Those were difficult times but at least cities and towns were people-oriented.
