All Italian studio films until the 60s were shot without sync (recorded during filming) sound and were dubbed later. Cinecetta, the big studio outside Rome, didn't even have sound proof stages. At some point-Cleopatra I think-sound stages were built. This is what made the Neo Realists such a shock in Italy-their films-Open City, Stromboli, La Strada, The Bicycle Thief (I had to get some classic content in here) were shot in almost a documentary style.
