This is a scene from "Sciuscià" a neorealistic movie from 1946. Technically it's fiction but, like all neorealistic movies, it's interpreted by non-actors and the line between the script and reality is incredibly faded. In fact, it represents the raw reality of children in post-war Italy.
Italian orphans and little vagabonds polished the shoes of American soldiers for a few coins: the soldiers called them "shoeshiners" and that English word slowly entered the Italian vocabulary in an italianized form: "sciuscià". After the war, "sciuscià" became a synonym for little vagabond, beggar, street urchin, rascal (much like the Neapolitan "scugnizzo").
The data shows that, after the war, the majority of Italian children were either orphans, extremely poor or sick and such conditions were often coexistent. Neorealistic movies such as Sciuscià (Shoeshine), Ladri di Biciclette (Bycycle Thieves), Roma Città Aperta (Rome Open City), Proibiti Rubare (Hey Boy) and many more are extremely close to documentaries as they relied on non-actors (found on the location), cameras and microphones that allowed the crew to get out of the studios and penetrate the streets, the slums and the actual communities that the movies wished to portray.
That's why I can't conceive these movies as just fiction, because I know that this was the daily life of thousands of children and poor people and fiction is reduced to the minimum: it's reality with a script.
