century.The series is team-taught by actor, teaching artist,

Caffe' LetterarioFriday March 27 @ 6:30pm: focus on Ennio FlaianoEnnio Flaiano
(1910-1972). Best known for the work he did in conjunction with
Fellini, Italian screenwriter Ennio Flaiano and his most frequent
collaborator Tullio Pinelli penned many scripts during the '50s and
'60s. Before coming to film, Flaiano was an architect, a professional
writer, a drama and film critic, and an author. Fellini appreciated
Flaiano's deft humor, dry observations on culture, and subtlety and
used the writer to help pen some of his best films including La Strada (1954), La Dolce Vita (1960) and 81/2 (1963). He wrote 57 screenplays and subjects. Among them: Too bad she's bad by Blasetti, The Night by Antonioni, Tot� and Carolina by Mario Monicelli, and El Verdugo by Luis Garcia Berlanga. He won the first edition of the Premio Strega in 1947 with his novel Tempo di Uccidere (A Time to Kill). His The Via Veneto Papers are also available in English. Decades ago in Italy, intellectual women started what was known as the Salotti Letterari, or literary salons, where artists, philosophers, and writers met to share opinions and exchange and celebrate ideas. Fast forward, the city of Paris gave birth to Caf� society and soon all over Europe, the Caffe' Letterari became the meeting point for everyone who wanted to make his/her voice heard. Today in Italy, the Caffe' Letterari have evolved into spaces where not only you can enjoy a latte or cappuccino while reading a novel but also are places where you can attend performances, engage in discussions on all subjects, listen to presentations, etc.- all in the name of "Culture." Collina Italiana is proud to present its own Caffe' Letterario, run by the women at CI, particularly actor, journalist, and Italian language instructor Laura Caparrotti. In celebration of Italian culture, especially writers and their novels, and essays, as well as to improve CI students' Italian language skills and expand on their knowledge of Italy, Laura leads participants on a unique journey to discover what remains unknown to most and is new in Italy-all of this and more in a weekly cozy salon atmosphere. Professional actors will also be invited to Caffe' Letterario for a dramatic reading of a short story or essay by an Italian author and at the end of each performance or reading guests engage students in discussions in Italiano. Participants are provided copies of all material. In keeping with the salon spirit, coffee and pastries are served at every session. The class, designed for intermediate and advanced students, is conducted in Italian. |
