Salvatores Narrates the Unique Features of the Italian Regions in the Italy Pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai PRESS RELEASE BEAUTY CONNECTS PEOPLE: SALVATORES NARRATES THE UNIQUE FEATURES OF THE ITALIAN REGIONS IN THE ITALY PAVILION AT EXPO 2020 DUBAI Rome, 9 March 2021 Oscar-winning director Gabriele Salvatores will narrate to the visitors to the Italy Pavilion at Expo2020 Dubai the Regions of Italy that as of today have started on their journey to this year’s global event. The project was unveiled by the Italian Commissioner’s Office for Expo 2020 Dubai at a digital press conference hosted on the platform of the Foreign Press in Italy. The Italian Regions will be the highlight of the exhibition set up at the Italy Pavilion in the upcoming Universal Expo, due to start on 1 October. Salvatores, who was selected by a jury chaired by writer Sandro Veronesi, will narrate the Beauty of Italy, a concept underlying Italy’s participation under the heading “Beauty Connects People” that in turn addresses the Expo Dubai theme, “Connecting minds, Creating the Future.” Over the next few weeks, the Oscar-winning filmmaker together with Indiana Production, will travel across the Regions that have joined the project, filming footage that will be edited and screened to the https://italyexpo2020.it/ Commissariato Generale dell’Italia per Expo 2020 Dubai Per informazioni: Area Comunicazione Commissariato Italia ad Expo 2020 Dubai [email protected] visitors to the Italy Pavilion for the entire 6-month duration of Expo 2020 Dubai. The storytelling people will enjoy when visiting the Italy Pavilion is conceived as a glance across the Peninsula. At the beginning of the journey, visitors will bask in the beauty of the landscape along the exhibition’s itinerary then continue on to narrative architectures made up of contents that best express Italy’s competence and beauty: from cinema to theatre, from landscapes to innovative enterprises, from cutting-edge technologies to sustainability. The story, which the Director and the participating Regions will tell, will feature a set of highly spectacular and impressive contents starting from the Belvedere, a scenic point overlooking beauty – a circular scenic window overlooking the country’s Region with a 360° view of Italy’s most beautiful landscapes. It also marks the importance of protecting and taking care of the priceless heritage Italy represents for the whole world. The journey continues with a film on Italy’s Know-How’, to be run on a 100sqmt screen and portraying the best of Italy’s handicrafts agrifood, machinery, design and the implementation of the most advanced technologies. The storytelling will then feature ‘Short Stories’, temporary exhibitions with a thematic focus on our country’s culture and art as well as contemporary innovations in fields such as health, medicine, space and design. https://italyexpo2020.it/ Commissariato Generale dell’Italia per Expo 2020 Dubai Per informazioni: Area Comunicazione Commissariato Italia ad Expo 2020 Dubai [email protected] The Italy Pavilion at Expo Dubai 2020 will be truly a “Garden of Tales”: a garden for it represents a metaphorical synthesis of many elements that come together to create a balanced and harmonious language, projecting the order of the universe. The tales that originate in our regions often represent unique competences such as a kind of innovation that – as it happened many a times in the past and that it is still happening today, is capable of changing the course of history and of mankind thanks to a vision and to the awareness of living in a country with a priceless natural, environmental and cultural heritage. “I believe that beauty, art and if I may, also the pleasure of life that Italy can convey and export, can truly help change the world,” Gabriele Salvatores said. “The Italian beauty which Gabriele Salvatores will narrate in a masterly fashion is the beauty that is born of the diversity of the country’s regions and knowledge: for the first time ever in a Universal Expo, our Regions will be the artistic partners of the Italy Pavilion, bringing to life its contents for the entire duration of the Expo,” Paolo Glisenti, Commissioner General for Italy’s participation in Expo 2020 Dubai said and went on to add: “They will be key also relaunch tourism, starting from experiential tourism, but also to make our productive chain, from handicraft concerns to large corporations, be more attractive for international capitals. They are expedient also in making human capital be drawn towards scientific and technological competence centers that are destined to generate innovation and sustainability in the future.” https://italyexpo2020.it/ Commissariato Generale dell’Italia per Expo 2020 Dubai Per informazioni: Area Comunicazione Commissariato Italia ad Expo 2020 Dubai [email protected] “All of our landscapes, with the exception of the natural ones, are a direct expression of the Italian know-how. I am truly pleased that this storytelling is now in the hands of a sensitive filmmaker such as Gabriele Salvatores,” said Davide Rampello, artistic curator of the Italy Pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai. NOTE: Gabriele Salvatores was born in Naples and later moved to Milan. He is one of the founders of Teatro dell’Elfo, where he directed also “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”, a rock musical that became his debut film, followed by ‘Kamikazen’, ‘Marrakech Express’, ‘Turné’ and ‘Mediterraneo’, which won an Academy Award. Ever since then he has been very successful, making films of different genres, docufilms and also directing Opera productions. https://italyexpo2020.it/ Commissariato Generale dell’Italia per Expo 2020 Dubai Per informazioni: Area Comunicazione Commissariato Italia ad Expo 2020 Dubai [email protected] .

  • The Myth of the Good Italian in the Italian Cinema
    ISSN 2039-2117 (online) Mediterranean Journal of Social Sciences Vol 5 No 16 ISSN 2039-9340 (print) MCSER Publishing, Rome-Italy July 2014 The Myth of the Good Italian in the Italian Cinema Sanja Bogojević Faculty of Philosophy, University of Montenegro Doi:10.5901/mjss.2014.v5n16p675 Abstract In this paper we analyze the phenomenon called the “myth of the good Italian” in the Italian cinema, especially in the first three decades of after-war period. Thanks to the recent success of films such as Tarantino’s Inglorious Basterds or Academy Award- winning Benigni’s film La vita è bella and Spielberg’s Schindler’s List it is commonly believed that the Holocaust is a very frequent and popular theme. Nevertheless, this statement is only partly true, especially when it comes to Italian cinema. Soon after the atrocities of the WWII Italian cinema became one of the most prominent and influential thanks to its national film movement, neorealism, characterized by stories set amongst the poor and famished postwar Italy, celebrating the fight for freedom under the banners of Resistance and representing a nation opposed to the Fascist and Nazi regime. Interestingly, these films, in spite of their very important social engagement, didn’t even mention the Holocaust or its victims and it wasn’t until the 1960’s that Italian cinema focused on representing and telling this horrific stories. Nevertheless, these films represented Italians as innocent and incapable of committing cruel acts. The responsibility is usually transferred to the Germans as typically cold and sadistic, absolving Italians of their individual and national guilt.

  • Italian Films (Updated April 2011)
    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.

    CANNES 2020 Memory House a JOÃO PAULO MIRANDA MARIA picture Memory House a JOÃO PAULO MIRANDA MARIA picture Modern day Brazil, but lost in time. Cristovam, a native Black man from the rural North, moves to a former Austrian colony in the South to work in a milk factory. Confronted with xenophobic conservative people, he feels isolated and estranged from the white world. He discovers an abandoned house, filled with objects and memorabilia reminding him of his origins. He settles in, reconnecting with his roots. As if this memory house were alive, more objects start to appear. Slowly, Cristovam begins a metamorphosis. JOÃO PAULO MIRANDA MARIA For his feature debut, director João Paulo Miranda Maria uses spiritual SHORTS: and fantastical story-telling to encapsulate the social and racial tensions MENINAS FORMICIDA of modern day Brazil.

Different times and dimensions meet within one another in the same scene. Cristovam seeks his origins, finding traces of his ancestry. The figure of the old black man is mythical in Brazilian popular culture, as a spiritual presence for the humblest. The visual effects in the movie, especially those on Cristovam’s face, with his skin and soul marked by age, are a projection of strength coming from his distant ancestors, an embodiment of the past, with a spiritual dimension.
