This video-essay considers performances from three key Italian actresses in the post-war period and the way that they embodied the figure of the ‘popolana’. Comparisons are drawn between the three actresses by looking at the ‘popolana’ in relation to the carceral space. This video essay was developed as part of the conference paper ‘Behind bars in post-war Italian cinema: the popolana and performance in female prison’.
