I'm thinking we have another person to dig into! Vittorio De Sica has been in the industry since the 1940s... and worked with children on his sets.

Filomena Cusano, who is Weinstein’s attorney in Italy, said she was at the festival when Argento spoke and the allegations “are completely false.”

“Mr. Weinstein and Ms. Argento had a consensual relationship; Ms. Argento then starred in Mr. Weinstein’s film B. Monkey in 1998, in which Argento was excellent, and she herself said was a fantastic role for her,” Cusano said in a statement to NBC News.

“After that, she wrote a script for Mr. Weinstein about Italian director Vittorio De Sica that he wishes could have been produced. This is clearly a painful moment for Ms. Argento, but it is a false narrative. Harvey has only respect for her and wishes her well,” Cusano added. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/asia-argento-delivers-searing-speech-calling-cannes-festival-weinstein-s-n875846, archived: http://archive.is/Rd1Uy

Who is Vittorio De Sica?

By the late 1920s he was a successful matinee idol of the Italian theatre, and repeated that achievement in Italian movies, mostly light comedies. He turned to directing in 1940, making comedies in a similar vein, but with his fifth film "The Children Are Watching Us" (1944), he revealed hitherto unsuspected depths and an extraordinarily sensitive touch with actors, especially children. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001120/bio?ref_=nm_ov_bio_sm, archived: http://archive.fo/oitco

"The Children Are Watching Us" - A four-year old boy, Pricò, becomes the subject of emotional folly by his fluctuant parents and inattentive relatives. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0034493/

And in exhibiting semi-documentary qualities by being shot partially on location, as well as by using nonprofessional actors in some roles, The Children Are Watching Us was a precursor of the neorealism that would issue forth after the liberation of occupied Rome. http://revistes.ub.edu/index.php/filmhistoria/article/view/12125, archived: http://archive.is/6QbBR

Another movie he produced with children:

"Shoeshine" - Two shoeshine boys in postwar Rome, Italy, save up to buy a horse, but their involvement as dupes in a burglary lands them in juvenile prison where the experience take a devastating toll on their friendship. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0038913/?ref_=tt_rec_tt

Is Sica another sicko?
