Lost in the Dark

Lost in the Dark is a 1914 Italian silent drama film directed by Nino Martoglio and starring Giovanni Grasso Sr., Maria Carmi and Virginia Balestrieri. Documenting life in the slums of Naples, it is considered a precursor to the Italian neorealism movement of the 1940s and 1950s. The only known surviving copy of this film was destroyed by Nazi German forces during World War II. The film is based on a 1901 play of the same title by Roberto Bracco.
