Luchino Visconti contributed to post-war Italian cinema by combining elements of Neorealism with his interest in operatic and historical narratives. His film Ossessione (1943) is considered a precursor to Italian Neorealism and set the stage for his later works, which often explored themes of class conflict, decadence, and political change with a focus on visual richness and complex characters.
