Some of the films that have made Italian Cinema great will be screened in the historic ‘Sala Lugones’ hall in Buenos Aires for the retrospective dedicated to Vittorio De Sica, as part of the initiative ‘Italia in scena’ organised by the Italian Cultural Institute. ‘Sciuscià’(Shoeshine), ‘Matrimonio all’Italiana’ (Marriage Italian Style) as well as ‘Ladri di biciclette’ (Bicycle Thieves), ‘Miracolo a Milano’ (Miracle in Milan) and ‘Umberto D’. These masterpieces of Italian Neorealism, completely remastered, are scheduled to be screened twice a day.
‘Italia in scena’ was created with the aim of deepening cultural ties between the two countries through a programme of events which will alternate between contemporary Italian productions and original projects developed by Italian and Argentinian professionals. More than 10 theatrical, musical and dance productions, classical and contemporary cinema, lectures, master classes and exhibitions all offer a unique journey to rediscover Italian entertainment scene both past and present.
