Abstract
Ermanno Olmi, born in Bergamo in 1931, is the Italian filmmaker most committed to and identified with a regional heritage. His films are distinctly Lombardian; for the most part they describe life in Milan, the provincial capital (e.g., Il posto [The Job, 1961], One Fine Day [1969], In the Summertime [1971], The Circumstance [1974]).
