Yes, the feeling is De Sica, a bittersweet lament, but always beautiful.

Wonderful BW. I like the dark eyes, mirrors his location trapped behind a fence/emotion.

Has some of the Italian realism of the 40s-50s De Sica.

Brighter eyes would have made a huge difference here. Since this is a fairly closeup shot, the only way a viewer can get the impression of sadness from this image is if his eyes were more visible. I wish you had brightened his eyes more in photoshop.
