Bellissima is a 1951 Italian drama film directed by Luchino Visconti and starring Anna Magnani, Walter Chiari and Tecla Scarano.

"[2] Bellissima centers on a working-class mother in Rome, Maddalena, who drags her young daughter to Cinecittà Studios to attend an audition for a new film by Alessandro Blasetti.

Keeping in with the tradition of Italian neorealism a number of roles went to members of the public.

[citation needed] Magnani played a part in their selection, approving of Gastone Renzelli a butcher who was cast as her husband.
