If you loved Umberto D., try Miracolo a Milano
Un ponte tra un film che hai già visto e uno che quasi nessuno ha incrociato. Questo è ciò che condividono, e ciò che il secondo fa che il primo non fa.
Cosa condividono
Both films are directed by Vittorio De Sica, and they both carry the bittersweet, foreign gem, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Umberto D., the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Miracolo a Milano is
The camera watches as a cabbage delivers a baby like a suburban stork. A benevolent crone raises him then dies, leaving Totò to trade orphanage grit for Milan’s mean streets. When developers come knocking on his ramshackle kingdom, he pulls a magic turnip out of the plot and everyone believes the miracle.
