Salvatore Di Giacomo

Assunta, a commoner of Naples, is scarred by her lover Michele for jealousy.

During the absence of her husband, who left for a fishing cruise in the seas of China, Carmela falls under the spell of Vito, a young fisherman.

Assunta, a commoner of Naples, is scarred by her lover Michele for jealousy.

Assunta and Michele are in love, but others come between them and jealousy arises. Assunta Spina stands out as an early landmark of naturalistic acting and a blueprint for the Italian Neorealist films to come.
