Family Diary (Italian: Cronaca familiare) is a 1962 Italian film directed by Valerio Zurlini and is based on the novel of the same name by Vasco Pratolini. Enrico, played by Marcello Mastroianni, is a struggling artist in 1945 Rome who recently lost his brother, Lorenzo (played by Jacques Perrin). Enrico recalls their tumultuous relationship and examines grief, existentialism, and the importance of familial ties.[1]

Family Diary is an adaptation of the 1947 semi-autobiographical novel by Vasco Pratolini, Cronaca familiare, or, in English, Two Brothers.

The film was awarded with the Golden Lion at the 1962 Venice International Film Festival and it has been acclaimed as one of Zurlini's greatest achievements.
