Summary/Abstract: The article analyzes the four first films of the director Vittorio De Sica: Rose scarlatte (1940), Maddalena zero in condotta (1941), Teresa Venerdì (1941) e Un Garibladino in convento (1942). emphasizing their political, social and cultural context. The analysis of individual works reveals their implicit messages (for example women’s emancipation, the repressive nature of the institutions and the problem of Strapaese and Straccittà), cleverly hidden under a comic mask.
