| Item Description: | Issued as part of 3-film set with Stromboli and Europe '51 : 3 films by Roberto Rossellini starring Ingrid Bergman. Originally produced as a motion picture in 1954. "The digital restoration of the English version of Viaggio in Italia was based on the original camera and sound negatives and on a vintage interpositive preserved at Cinecittà Digital Factory. The images were scanned at a resolution of 2K. After the scanning process, the images were digitally stabilized and cleaned to eliminate the imperfections of time: blemishes, specks, lines, scratches and splice marks. The grading attempted to return the brilliance and richness of the original photography. Following its acquisition, the sound underwent a digital cleaning process, as well as the reduction of noise caused by usage and wear over time, while at the same time maintaining the dynamics and characteristics of the original sound. The restoration was realized by the Cineteca di Bologna at the L'Immagine Ritrovata laboratory in 2012."-- pre-credits.
