PRESENTED BY DR. FRANCO GALLIPPI Lecture 1: Sophia Loren: The Italian Marilyn Monroe
September 10 at 7:00pm
The great film stars of Italy have travelled around the globe on
the silver screen. Knowingly and unknowingly, they have painted
a portrait of Italy. Its extreme beauty and harsh realities are
expressed through performances that take the audience from
the intimate space of a kitchen to the heights of the Alps
and the Apennines. What lies between are the joys and
struggles of a people that take on the face of Sophia Loren,
Marcello Mastroianni, Monica Bellucci, and Roberto Benigni.
