Post-war Italian filmmakers and writers had a word for such minor narratives, the ones that preoccupied desperate individuals but failed to engage the complacent authorities, the ones that determined a family’s fate but elicited little or no reaction from a preoccupied nation, the ones that could provide the plot for the greatest neorealist films while appearing too trivial to provide fodder for even the most provincial gazettes. The word was cronaca, a word only partially captured in English by terms like “chronicle” or “news item.” This was the term De Sica used to describe Ladri di biciclette in his 1948 interview. “Il mio scopo è di rintracciare il drammatico nelle situazioni quotidiane, il meraviglioso della piccola cronaca, anzi della piccolissima cronaca, considerata dai più come materia consunta [My aim is to identify the dramatic in everyday situations, the marvellous in the minor chronicle (cronaca), indeed in the most minor chronicle, which most consider worn-out material],” he explained. t was also the term Zavattini employed in a celebrated essay on neorealism’s development, where he expressed his “vecchio desiderio di adoperare il cinema per conoscere ciò che succede intorno a noi [...] in un modo diretto e immediato [longstanding desire to use the cinema to understand what happens around us (...) in a direct and immediate way,” and defined Italian neorealism as the cinema that “riproduce un fatto di cronaca nei luoghi dov’è realmente avvenuto e che interpretano coloro stessi che ne sono stati i principali protagonisti [reproduces a news item (cronaca) in the places it actually took place and with the actual participants as actors].” For both director and screenwriter, post-war Italian cinematic realism was defined by its foundations in the chronicle.

De Sica and Zavattini could hardly have chosen a more suggestive term with which to explain the realist ambitions of their cinematic project. From the novels of Vasco Pratolini, who published both Cronaca familiare and Cronache di poveri amanti (1947), to the films of Michelangelo Antonioni (Cronaca di un amore, 1950) and Luchino Visconti (Aspetti di un fatto di cronaca, 1951), to the poetry of Luigi Compagnone (“Cronaca,” 1946), Attilio Bertolucci (“Cronaca 1946,” 1951), and Elio Pagliarani (Cronache e altre poesie, 1954), to the plays of Leopoldo Trieste (Cronaca, 1946) and Marcello Sartarelli (“Teatro di cronaca”), the term recurred with remarkable frequency in post-war Italy. Well aware of the term’s apparent ubiquity in the first years after the Second World War, Carlo Salinari once argued that “l’esigenza della cronaca è stata ed è fondamentale del nuovo realismo italiano [the demand for chronicles was and is fundamental to the new Italian realism].” If anything, Salinari understated things. For many commentators, both during the age of neorealism and in recent years, the cronaca has appeared not just a fundamental aspect of neorealism but the very definition of neorealism itself.

If the cronaca can be said to define neorealism, however, it must also be said that the cronaca itself remains imperfectly defined. It has been called the “aspetto contingente, momento subordinato o anche materiale grezzo della storia [contingent aspect, the subordinate moment or even the raw material of history], “il racconto indiscriminato di certi fatti [the indiscriminate account of certain facts],” the “visione più immediatamente sincera dell’oggetto [most immediate and sincere view of an object],” an “asciutta registrazione di eventi [dry registering of events],” an “assoluta obbedienza alla realtà dei fatti [absolute obedience to the reality of facts].” The cronaca, then, is understood in some way to pertain to material reality, as well as to the form in which that reality is represented. It denotes at once the routine, contingent, concrete facts of daily events and the instrument for capturing those events, for recording those facts, for registering their substantive particulars. Yet, in its focus on the actual, the specific, the sensible, the authentic, the corporeal, the neorealist cronaca was far more dynamic and far more intricate than the scholarly consensus would suggest. This chapter is an attempt to capture the remarkable conceptual dynamism of the neorealist cronaca, a term that designated both the realistic depiction of post-war Italy’s singular travails and the critical articulation of those travails in their full historical and even universal significance. (Charles L. Leavitt IV)
