What happens

Stromboli (Italian: Stromboli (Terra di Dio), lit. 'Stromboli (Land of God)') is a 1950 drama film directed by Roberto Rossellini and starring Ingrid Bergman. The film is considered a classic example of Italian neorealism. In 2008, the film was included on the Italian Ministry of Cultural Heritage's 100 Italian films to be saved, a list of 100 films that "have changed the collective memory of the country between 1942 and 1978."
