Until Thursday December 5 | Kendall Square Cinema | One Kendall Square (at 355 Binney Street) Cambridge, MA LA GRANDE BELLEZZA - (THE GREAT BEAUTY) Gorgeously photographed in Rome and Tuscany, The Great Beauty (La Grande Bellezza) is a dazzling, lyrical and at times surreal dramatic comedy, like a modern day La Dolce Vita. The magnetic Toni Servillo (Il Divo, Gomorrah) plays dapper journalist Jep Gambardella, slick and soulful, who has been a permanent fixture in Rome's literary and social circles since the legendary success of his one and only novel. Armed with a roguish charm, he has seduced his way through the city's lavish night life for decades, but when his 65th birthday coincides with a shock from the past, Jep finds himself unexpectedly taking stock of his life. Turning his cutting wit on himself and his contemporaries, and looking past the extravagant nightclubs, parties and caf�s, Jep discovers Rome in all its glory: a timeless landscape of absurd, exquisite beauty. Directed and co-written by Paolo Sorrentino (This Must Be The Place, Il Divo).

ANDREA BOCELLI FOUNDATION - MIT WORKSHOP - AMBASSADOR BISOGNIERO WILL OPEN THE BREAK THE BARRIERS SEMINAR AT 3:00PM
With the intention of opening dialogue and sharing the results of their work ABF and MIT in Boston have co-organized a 1-day workshop in which names of international excellence in the fields of scientific and technological research and social impact will take part.
The day is to be divided into two parallel workshops devoted to the intervention programs of Andrea Bocelli Foundation:
Challenges and Break the Barriers; both related to research activity at MIT.
In the Challenges program, Andrea Bocelli Foundation funds the work of a multi-disciplinary research group at MIT for the creation of a device that allows blind or visually impaired people to achieve greater autonomy especially outdoors and when socialising.
In the Break the Barriers program, the Foundation identifies interventions in the fight against absolute poverty that can be measured by impact and number of lives saved and thus has chosen to collaborate with J-Pal (Jameel Poverty Action Lab) at the MIT, network of researchers who use randomized evaluations to answer critical policy questions in the fight against poverty.
CLICK HERE FOR FULL PROGRAM
Challenges Workshop: "How neuroscientists and computer scientists seek to understand the functional uses of vision and develop innovative technologies enabling visually impaired people to increase their independence and social inclusion.''
Break the Barriers Workshop: "Empowering Social Programs: the strength of insights and scientific evidence."
The Andrea Bocelli Foundation believes it is important to support both the actions of those who work directly in the field as well as the work of those, such as the Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab, who use a scientific approach to assess, measure and direct the impact of the aforementioned actions.

Visiting Masterpiece: Piero della Francesca's Senigallia Madonna -
An Italian Treasure, Stolen and Recovered
Another visiting masterpiece has arrived as part of the 2013 Year of Italian Culture. Piero della Francesca's 15th-century tempera and oil on panel, the Senigallia Madonna (1470s) is normally on view in the Galleria Nazionale delle Marche, in the Ducal Palace of Urbino. This exceptional work by one of the masters of the Renaissance was one of three stolen paintings recovered in 1975 by Italy's famed Carabinieri Cultural Heritage Protection Command (CCHPC), specializing in protection of Italy's cultural heritage on a national and international level. Don't miss this magnificent loan by a fascinating artist.
Above: Piero della Francesca, Senigallia Madonna, about 1474. Oil and tempera on panel. Galleria Nazionale delle Marche / Soprintendenza per i Beni Storici, Artistici ed Etnoantropologici delle Marche / Ministero per I Beni e le Attivit� Culturali.
Our Visiting Masterpiece was recovered from thieves in 1976 by Italy's famed Carabinieri Cultural Heritage Protection Command. This 18-minute video gives an in-depth view of how this international force protects cultural heritage around the globe.
