DESCRIPTION:A fascinating journey exploring the fruitful\, stimulating and 
 sometimes controversial relationship between the world of cinema and Itali
 an writers of the 20th century. From the initial shock when cinema burst o
 nto the scene\, to the golden age of Hollywood\, filled with dreams\, star
 s and glamour\; from the power of Neorealism\, born to portray the harsh r
 eality of ordinary people\, to the boom of the 1950s and 1960s\, when Ital
 ian cinema became famous worldwide thanks to filmmakers such as Fellini\, 
 Visconti\, De Sica\, Rossellini and Antonioni. Then came the 1970s and 198
 0s\, the end of innocence and a period of nostalgic reflection.\nThe role 
 of cinema in shaping the style\, worldview and narrative universes of grea
 t Italian authors is the focus of the 31st Edition of the “L. Visconti” Sc
 hool of Advanced Studies in Film History and Criticism\, organized by the 
 Georges Sadoul Circle of Ischia. At Villa La Colombaia\, the historic resi
 dence of Luchino Visconti\, three evenings (August 26\, 27 and 28) will ex
 plore the fascination with the seventh art that runs through a significant
  part of Italian literature.\nOrganized in collaboration with the Italian 
 Institute for Philosophical Studies of Naples and the Municipality of Fori
 o\, the 2025 edition is entitled “Cinema Was Everything. Italian Writers i
 n Front of the Big Screen” and will be curated by Professor Emiliano Morre
 ale\, writer\, film critic and lecturer at La Sapienza University of Rome.
 \nFrom Luigi Pirandello to Mario Soldati\, through Pier Paolo Pasolini\, I
 talo Calvino\, Anna Maria Ortese\, Giorgio Bassani and Elsa Morante\, the 
 program explores the perspective of novelists and poets as cinema spectato
 rs. This theme was also developed by Morreale in his latest book\, publish
 ed by Einaudi under the same title\, ultimately tracing a history of the I
 talian gaze and collective imagination.\nThe program\nAll events are free 
 admission and will take place in the park of Villa La Colombaia:\nWednesda
 y\, August 26: “The Years of La Dolce Vita: When Novels Dreamed of Being L
 ike Films”Thursday\, August 27: “The Invention of Nostalgia: How Cinema Be
