It was a backlash of the WW2 which ended in 1945.
Mussolini was the leader before getting overthrown in 1943, he was against the Italian neorealism films as they painted Italy in a negative light, so he pushed for meaningless films made purely for entertainment. These films were called white telephone films which were Italy's imitation of American films. The war also destroyed most of Italy's studios, leading them to film on the streets, this worked as it added more realism to the films. Filming on the streets became a style of the Italian neorealism filmshttp://moodle.kinged6nun.ac.uk/pluginfile.php/50031/mod_resource/content/1/Introduction%20To%20Film.pdf
