In Italian literature, some folkloric words like Ciociaria and ciociari are used to denote people, film settings, and characters in Italian neorealist works.[1]
Many writers say they found poetical inspiration in lands south of Rome thanks to diverse local traditions, ancient rural landscapes and provincialism. Those characters belong to a geographical region between Tevere and Garigliano, where artists such as Alberto Moravia, Elsa Morante, Cesare Zavattini, Cesare Pascarella, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Giuseppe De Santis, and Vittorio De Sica lived, producing novels and movies.
