Goodbye Youth (Italian: Addio, giovinezza!) is a 1940 Italian "white-telephones" drama film directed by Ferdinando Maria Poggioli and starring María Denis, Adriano Rimoldi and Clara Calamai. The film was adapted from the 1911 play of the same name by Nino Oxilia and Sandro Camasio, which had been adapted into films on three previous occasions. The film was a breakthrough role for Calamai who emerged as a leading star of Italian cinema during the 1940s.^[1] It was made at the Cinecittà studios in Rome and the Fert Studios in Turin.
