Among Risi’s early films, 1848 was commissioned for Milan’s uprising against Austrian rule. It opens with soldiers at a ballet rehearsal at La Scala, echoing Corrado D’Errico’s 1941 La Compagnia della teppa, where insurgents used a Rossini premiere to spread Napoleonic leaflets. The film hints at Visconti’s staging of Senso at Venice’s Fenice.
