AN ITALIAN ACTRESS BORN IN ROME, SIMONETTA STEFANELLI MADE HER FIRST APPEARENCE IN LA MOGLIE GIAPPONESE AND APPEARED IN SEVERAL ITALIAN FILMS BEFORE APPEARING IN HER FIRST INTERNATIONAL ROLE IN THE GODFATHER, AS APOLLONIA, AT THE AGE OF 16. Simonetta Stefanelli was born on November 30, 1954, in Rome, Lazio, Italy. She started acting in Italian movies as a child artist and was about 16 years old when she was offered the role of ‘Apollonia Vitelli– Corleone’ in the movie ‘The Godfather.’ After her performance in ‘The Godfather,’ she received numerous offers from Hollywood which she turned down, as she feared being stereotyped as a sex symbol. She preferred to continue with her career in Italy and appeared in a number of TV serials and movies, such as ‘The King is the Best Mayor,’ ‘The Big Family,’ and ‘Moses the Lawgiver. She married Italian actor/director Michele Placido, with whom she has appeared in several movies. Their daughter, Violante Placido, is also an actor who made her debut with her father after Simonetta gave up acting. In 1994, Simonetta and Michele divorced, and following this, Simonetta gave up her acting career to become an entrepreneur. She opened a designer store that is now famous for its bags and footwear. Though she gave up acting a long time ago, she still has a large fan base that follows her on social media. She is recognized as an Italian celebrity entrepreneur who supplies quality products to the elite. EMMA MORANO BORN NOVEMBER 29, 1989 in Civiasco, Vercelli Died on: April 15, 2017 place of death: Verbania FAMOUS AS: SUPERCENTENARIAN father: Giovanni Morano mother: Matilde Bresciani siblings: Angela Morano Once regarded as the world’s oldest living person, Emma Morano was an Italian woman who died at the age of 117 years and 137 days. The Italian super centenarian lived through three centuries and was also the last verified living person from the 1800s. Morano was also regarded as one of the five oldest people in the history of the world. In July 2016, Morano earned a place in the ‘Guinness World Records,’ as t he oldest living person. In a way, she achieved the feat by doing nothing but surviving through life. She attributes her long life to eating raw eggs daily and not getting involved with a man all her life. It is said that she had fallen in love with a man when she was young but never saw him afte rward. At 26, she married another man, only to separate in a few years. Following this, she decided to not give marriage much import ance. Emma Martina Luigia Morano was born on November 29, 1899, in Civiasco, Vercelli, Piedmont, Kingdom of Italy, to Giovanni Mor ano and Matilde Bresciani. She was the first of their eight children. She had four sisters and three brothers. Her extraordinarily long life may be attributed to good family genes. Her mother, he r aunt, and a few of her other family members lived to reach the age of 90. Her sister Angela Morano died after she turned 102, in 2011. She moved to Ossola from the Sesia Valley due to her father’s job. Her father worked in a foundry and eventually turned blind . Her mother earned a living by making slippers out of layered fabrics. Morano soon moved to Verbania on Lake Maggiore because she often fell sick due to the terrible weather of Ossola. She lived in Verbania for the rest of her life. Morano was also the last surviving member of her family. Morano worked at a jute factory, known as ‘Maioni Industry,’ until 1954. She then earned her living by cooking in the kitchen of a Marianist boarding school named ‘Collegio Santa Maria,’ and worked there until her retiremen t. She retired at the age of 75 and continued living in her home until her death. She lived through two World Wars and almost 90 Italian governments. Emma Morano remained single for most of her life. In fact, she considered her singlehood to be one of the main reasons for her long and happy life. She fell in love with a boy at a young age, but according to her, he was killed during ‘World War I.’ She never felt the need to marry someone else for a long time after this incident. When she was 26, she got married to a man named Giovanni Martinuzzi. Giovanni was an abusive husband. According to Morano, he had threatened to kill her if she refused to marry him. She got married to him in October 1926 and gave birth to their son in 1937. Unfortunately, her son died when he was only 6 months old. She soon came to be known as the oldest living human being on the planet, and attributed her long life to her genes, her dail y intake of raw eggs, her early-to-bed schedule, and her single life. In 2013, she revealed that her secret to longevity was that she ate three raw eggs with a glass of home-made grappa regularly and had a positive outlook toward life. She also revealed her love for chocolate. On April 2, 2013, after the death of 113-year-old Maria Radaelli, Morano became the oldest person in Italy and Europe. She also became the oldest verified living person in Italy after Venere Pizzinato and Dina Manfredini. She was interviewed by a ‘RAI’ show at the age of 114. The live interview was short but interesting. Morano died on April 15, 2017, in her home in Verbania. She died peacefully in her sleep, next to the photo of her son who had died i n 1937. Her 117th and last birthday celebration was broadcast live in Italy. It was more like a concert where she reminisced about significant parts of her life that she had experienced and survived, including the World Wars, her job at the jute factory, and her decision to leave her abusive husband during a time when separation from one’s spouse was not appreciated.

Luca Pacioli Born: 1445 in Sansepulcro, Tuscany, Italy Died: June 19, 1517, Location unknown Nationality: Italian Famous For: The Father of Modern Accounting Mathematician Luca Bartolomeo de Pacioli was an Italian mathematician, Franciscan friar, collaborator with Leonardo da Vinci, and an early contributor to the field now known as accounting. He is referred to as "The Father of Accounting and Bookkeeping" in Europe and he was the first person to publish a work on the double-entry system of book-keeping on the continent. He was also called Luca di Borgo after his birthplace, Borgo Sansepolcro, Tuscany. In 1475, Paciolo went to Perugia to teach, soon taking the chair in mathematics, the first to hold that position. To help his students, he wrote a substantial textbook, among the first to be written in the vernacular. He continued to act as a private tutor until told to cease that work in 1491 to concentrate on his academic career. In Venice in 1494, he published his first printed book, Summa de arithmetica, which dealt particularly with arithmetical and geometrical subjects. This book was intended as a school textbook, and was a comprehensive collection of mathematical knowledge as it stood at the time. It is notable for being the first printed work to contain an Italian-language description of algebra and for describing a system of double-entry book-keeping. Paciolo also detailed the correct methods for using ledgers and added a caution that nobody should end his working day unless he had made his debit and credit columns agree. The book also covers other topics such as the ethics of accounting, as well as the Rule of 72, a method of determining economic returns. Paciolo also wrote a treatise on magic and mathematics, notable for being the first known guide to performing card tricks. As well as instructions on juggling and fire-eating, the book also included a collection of mathematical puzzles.

  • American Cinema of the 1970S SCREEN AMERICAN CULTURE / AMERICAN CINEMA DECADES
    American Cinema of the 1970s SCREEN AMERICAN CULTURE / AMERICAN CINEMA DECADES Each volume in the Screen Decades: American Culture/American Cinema series is an anthology of original essays exploring the impact of cultural issues on film and the impact of film on American society. Because every chapter presents a discussion of particularly significant motion pictures and the broad range of historical events in one year, readers will gain a systematic and progressive sense of the decade as it came to be depicted on movie screens across North America. We know that our series represents just one approach to the growth of the American cinema: to organ- ize by decades establishes somewhat artificial borders and boundaries, and each author’s thematic choices are but one way to understand the culture of a particular year. Despite such limitations, this structure contextualizes the sprawling progres- sion of American cinema, especially as it relates to historical and cultural events. We hope that these books, aimed at scholars and general readers, students and teachers, will shed valuable new light on, and will provide a better understanding of, Ameri- can culture and film history during the twentieth century.

  • Resisting Abstraction
    CHAPTER TWO Resisting Abstraction There is nothing false about the materials. Siegfried Kracauer, reporting on his visit to the UFA film studios in Neubabelsberg There is a widely accepted notion, outlined in Chapter One, that New Hollywood was often ambitious in its thematic reach, constantly raising Big Questions about US American national identity. This might also be characterized as an emphasis on rhetoric at the expense of mimesis; a prioritization of ideas and their articula- tion ahead of physical matter and its aesthetic reproduction. What would happen to our idea of the socio-political New Hollywood if we interpreted some of its major films according to mimesis-oriented criteria? To what extent do its films offer up images and patterns which, contrary to widespread interpretations of the films at large, resist symbolic abstraction? Do the weighty allegories of works such as Nashville and The Godfather (Francis Ford Coppola, 1972) contain the mate- rialist seeds of their own incoherence? ‘Mimesis is the inescapable conceptual medium of Western thinking about art, artists and audiences’, writes Matthew Potolsky (2006: 158). Ecocriticism has emphasized how the vital importance of mimesis also extends to the environment, precisely because mimesis is predicated on something tangible and influential which precedes textual representation. The term ‘Prague Spring’, explains Jonathan Bate in the introduction to his seminal Romantic Ecology, only has resonance as long as it remains the case that ‘every winter will be followed by a spring which will bring warmth and new life’ (1991: 2). The struggle for correlation between text and world does not immediately seem to be a concern for cinema in the way that it is for literature, and indeed the medium’s apparent guarantee of that correlation has been cited as one of its fundamental "Transactions with the World," by Adam O'Brien is available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 license.

    Language Laboratory Film Collection Wagner College: Campus Hall 202 Italian Films (updated April 2011): Agata and the Storm/ Agata e la tempesta (2004) Silvio Soldini. Italy The pleasant life of middle-aged Agata (Licia Maglietta) -- owner of the most popular bookstore in town -- is turned topsy-turvy when she begins an uncertain affair with a man 13 years her junior (Claudio Santamaria). Meanwhile, life is equally turbulent for her brother, Gustavo (Emilio Solfrizzi), who discovers he was adopted and sets off to find his biological brother (Giuseppe Battiston) -- a married traveling salesman with a roving eye. Bicycle Thieves/ Ladri di biciclette (1948) Vittorio De Sica. Italy Widely considered a landmark Italian film, Vittorio De Sica's tale of a man who relies on his bicycle to do his job during Rome's post-World War II depression earned a special Oscar for its devastating power. The same day Antonio (Lamberto Maggiorani) gets his vehicle back from the pawnshop, someone steals it, prompting him to search the city in vain with his young son, Bruno (Enzo Staiola). Increasingly, he confronts a looming desperation. Big Deal on Madonna Street/ I soliti ignoti (1958) Mario Monicelli. Italy Director Mario Monicelli delivers this deft satire of the classic caper film Rififi, introducing a bungling group of amateurs -- including an ex-jockey (Carlo Pisacane), a former boxer (Vittorio Gassman) and an out-of-work photographer (Marcello Mastroianni). The crew plans a seemingly simple heist with a retired burglar (Totó), who serves as a consultant. But this Italian job is doomed from the start. Blow up (1966) Michelangelo Antonioni.

  • Cinéma En Plein Air VII Édition I MICHEL PICCOLI Jardins, 8-19 Juillet 2013
    Cinéma en plein air VII édition I MICHEL PICCOLI Jardins, 8-19 juillet 2013 L’édition 2013 du Cinéma en plein air rend un hommage exceptionnel à Michel Piccoli, immense artiste de l’histoire et de l’actualité du cinéma, avec un ensemble de films avec lui et de lui. Choisis avec sa collaboration, ceux-ci mettront particulièrement en valeur le rôle crucial joué par Michel Piccoli dans le cinéma européen. En parcourant l’histoire du cinéma français, il est difficile de trouver un acteur de la même étoffe que Michel Piccoli. Sa carrière cinématographique riche et diversifiée a vu l'acteur français jouer dans plus de deux cents films, qui ont donné lieu à des rencontres avec les plus grands réalisateurs transalpins et d'Italie, dans des rôles mémorables. Acteur de théâtre et de cinéma, Michel Piccoli interprète avec justesse et invention les rôles les plus complexes et opposés, s’adaptant aux univers et aux langages cinématographiques les plus divers. Artiste de renommée internationale, on le retrouve dans les films de Demy, Rivette, Sautet, Buñuel, Rouffio, Ferreri, Petri, Bellocchio, Hitchcock, Skolimowski, Doillon, Carax, Malle, Chabrol, Deville, Renoir, Godard, Lelouch, Granier-Deferre, Tavernier, Chahine, Resnais... Acteur de génie, il a également réalisé des films importants. Son étonnante capacité à investir ses rôles, à travailler dans la recherche et le mouvement continus, font de Michel Piccoli une véritable icône du cinéma. Du lundi 8 au vendredi 19 juillet pour le Cinéma en plein air l'Académie de France à Rome ouvre une fois de plus les jardins de la Villa Médicis, dont la salle de cinéma porte déjà le nom de Michel Piccoli.
