Wednesday, 28 June 2023 at 5:30pm – Italian Institute of Culture, Pavilion Hall
In the context of the international conference ‘Italo Calvino and World Culture: A Hundred-Year Legacy’, you are warmly invited to attend a free screening of the film Ricordi? (2018, 106′) by director Valerio Mieli, who will be joining us at the Institute and will engage in conversation with the audience in Italian. Ricordi? is a love story seen through the memories of two unnamed characters in different periods of their lives. A young man and a young woman with opposite personalities, who met in Ponza and became adults together, rewind their stories through interlaced flashbacks (images of which also intersect a number of scenes inspired by Calvino’s The Baron in the Trees). The film competed in the 75th Venice International Film Festival and was nominated for three David di Donatello.
It will be screened in Italian with English subtitles.
Free admission upon registration.
Few seats available.
