Original Rocco and His Brothers (Rocco E I Suoi Fratelli) Movie Posters

Welcome to the official Film/Art Gallery collection of original Rocco and His Brothers vintage movie posters, where we offer a wide range of artwork for one of cinema's action drama films.

Rocco and His Brothers is a 1960 Italian film directed by Luchino Visconti, inspired by an episode from the novel Il Ponte Della Ghisolfa by Giovanni Testori. Shot in Milan, it tells the story of a family settler from the South and its disintegration in the society of the industrial North. Starring Alain Delon, Renato Salvatori, Annie Girardot, and Claudia Cardinale.

The story is about the five brothers Vincenzo, Simone, Rocco, Ciro, and Luca Parondi as all of them adjust to a new life in the city. After the death of his father, Rocco Parondi (Alain Delon), the third brother of the five sons of a poor rural Italian family, travels north from Lucania to join his older brother Vincenzo in Milan, with their mother Rosaria (Katina Paxinou).

During the spring of 1960, the original plan to shoot the murder scene at the end of the film in a large leisure area in Idroscalo was refused by the provincial administration. This was due to an “inopportune resemblance to reality” of the scene to be shot to the recent murder of a young prostitute in the area. The film was later seized by police officers and lawyers. They demanded that four scenes are cut or the film would be seized and the producer sued. The film was the 27th most popular film of the year in France. It sold 10,220,365 tickets in Italy.
