The Garden of the Finzi-Continis	comment	The Garden of the Finzi-Continis is a 1970 film from Italy, directed by Vittorio De Sica.The film covers events from 1938 to 1943 in the town of Ferrara. At the start of the film Fascist Italy, prior to this date not at all anti-Semitic, has followed the lead of Benito Mussolini's German masters and passed anti-Jewish race laws. Since the Jews of Ferrara are no longer allowed to play tennis in the local tennis club, they go to the home of the Finzi-Continis. The Finzi-Continis are an absurdly wealthy family living in an enormous mansion, on an estate that is protected by high walls and boasts spacious gardens as well as a tennis court. Their great wealth and high walls insulate them from the gradually deteriorating conditions of life for Italy's Jews.Giorgio is the son of a middle-class Jewish family, long friends of the Finzi-Continis; he plays tennis on their court and studies with the Finzi-Contini patriarch, a professor. Giorgio is desperately in love with Micol Finzi-Contini, the professor's dazzlingly beautiful daughter and his friend since childhood, but her feelings towards him are more ambiguous. Persons in their social circle include Micol's brother Alberto, Giorgio's brother Alberto, another local Jew named Lattes, and Bruno Malnate, who is a Gentile but an anti-fascist.
