In explains that it was actually spelled “Sisi” at the time. “Our Sisi this production, he is supported by a stellar cast and crew is a modern, exciting story about a person with depth… Sisi topped by Italian up-and-coming talent Cristiana Capotondi was an idol, a pop star and a style icon at a time when these as Sisi, and featuring international star Martina Gedeck (The words didn't even exist. With her rebellious courage to stand Lives of Others) as Sisi's formidable mother-in-law. “Sisi” up for her convictions, Sisi can still be a role model today.” builds on the high emotional impact that has made the “Sissi” (Xaver Schwarzenberger) films one of the most successful fairy tales of modern times. THE PRODUCTION The two-part miniseries is a production of superlatives that recreates 19th-century life at historical locations such as the Vienna Hofburg, Schönbrunn and Laxenburg Palaces, Eckertsau Palace, Brunnsee Palace, as well as on the Lido and in the streets of Venice. For the scenes at Miramare Palace in Italy, a historical ship was brought expressly to Trieste. Particular attention was lavished on the 20 coaches drawn by 100 horses. The golden wedding coach is an original six-horse carriage of 1740 lent by the Archbishop of Olomouc. The production also required 2,000 extras and about 700 costumes, including 40 different dresses for Sisi alone. Historical battle reenactors were hired to provide authenticity for the battles of Königgrätz and Solferino.

  • Masculinity, Stardom, and Italian Cinema 1. the Actresses Listed Were Margherita Buy, Claudia Gerini, and Cristiana Capotondi
    Notes Introduction Trouble Men: Masculinity, Stardom, and Italian Cinema 1. The actresses listed were Margherita Buy, Claudia Gerini, and Cristiana Capotondi. Capotondi was bracketed with regular costar Fabio De Luigi in eighth place. Buy ranked nineteenth and Gerini twenty-third. The top male stars were mostly comics (including Alessandro Siani, Claudio Bisio, Christian De Sica, Checco Zalone, Carlo Verdone, and Antonio Albanese). See Ciak, September 9, 2013. 2. The majority of this criticism has been Anglophone, though see Grignaffini (1988). On Loren, see Gundle (1995a) and Small (2009); on Lollobrigida, see Buckley (2000). Gundle (2007: xix) mentions that male beauty could also be discussed, and cites Malossi’s volume on the figure of the Latin Lover. However, it is interesting that La Cecla in that book admits that “it is difficult to take the Latin Lover seriously” (1996: 26), and he is interpreted as a figure of slightly pathetic comic value, rather than as a symbol of the nation. All trans- lations from Italian are my own, unless otherwise stated. 3. See the cover images for Bondanella (2014), Bertellini (2004), Brunetta (2009), Wood (2005), Sorlin (1996), Brizio-Skov (2011), and Nowell-Smith (1996). 4. De Biasio identifies this as a compensatory move on the part of femi- nism: “The omnipresence and presumed ‘universality’ of men in his- tory, in the arts, in science, in public life, has led to the focusing on women’s identity, lobbying for the rights that were still denied them [ . ] and valorizing their achievements and their contributions to the collective” (2010: 12). 5. Jedlowski says: “While we have an abundant literature on the dif- ferent manifestations and transformations of female identity, reflec- tions on masculinity are, till now, few and far between in Italy” (2009: 11).

  • Transgression and Conformism in Contemporary Italian Teen Movies
    Postfeminist (Dis)Entanglements: Transgression and Conformism in Contemporary Italian Teen Movies Paola Bonifazio This essay will examine the articulation of discourses of gender and sexuality in three films based on Federico Moccia’s novels, which represent Italian teenagers and their love troubles: Tre metri sopra il cielo, its sequel Ho voglia di te, and Amore 14 (from now on, also referred to as “the Moccia films”).1 Sexuality and the sexualization of both male and female bodies are central to the films’ narratives and visual strategies, and inform a configuration of the gender/sex system whose features have been widely discussed by scholars in British and American cultural and film studies under the label of “postfeminism.”2 More specifically, I will consider 3msc, hvdt, and a14 as case studies in order to address the conflict between female sexual agency and gender normativity in film narratives, an aspect that is common to many contemporary romantic comedies and dramas both in Italy and abroad. At the core of the teen films under study in this essay lie the tropes of freedom and choice, as well as the concepts of agency and individualization, i.e., ideas that are fundamental to the construction of the neo-liberal subject. In other words, these national productions engage with questions that are not only specific to Italian society, but to Western democracies at large. In this light, I will explore the transformation of Italian film culture in a globalized film industry through the lens of these texts. Although the Moccia films cast young—rather than mature—women and men as protagonists, the discourses of gender and sexuality that they enact have several elements in common with postfeminist discourse.

  • Representations of Masculinity in Contemporary Italian Teen Film
    Redefining a Gendered Genre: Representations of Masculinity in Contemporary Italian Teen Film Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Daniel Evan Paul, M.A. Graduate Program in Italian The Ohio State University 2019 Dissertation Committee Dana Renga, Advisor Jonathan Combs-Schilling Linda Mizejewski Catherine O’Rawe 1 Copyright by Daniel Evan Paul 2019 2 Abstract “Redefining a Gendered Genre: Representations of Masculinity in Contemporary Italian Teen Film”, pushes against the generally accepted classification of teen film—with its romantic narratives and its classification as popular culture—as a feminine/feminized genre. I argue instead that such films privilege male protagonists and their coming-of-age experience and thus make central the masculine struggle of growing into adult- and manhood. Through close analysis of ten filmic texts, I demonstrate how Italian teen film proposes innovative forms of masculinity through its male protagonists, ones which often appropriate aspects of femininity such as caretaking and emotional availability. These forms of masculinity at once code the young men as inherently damaged, yet also allow the genre’s stereotypically female audiences to mourn the wounded men so that they can subsequently be recuperated into normative society. In that the films I discuss often centralize teenage romance, they are quite easily labeled as melodramas, or even romantic comedies. A common, though not constant, trope of the melodramatic mode is its tendency to depart from a space of innocence which is often characterized by hearth and home. For a melodrama to end happily, it typically does so by centralizing the heterosexual couple or the heteronormative family consisting of husband, wife, and child(ren) in an apparent return to the space of innocence from which it departed.
