TORONTO – Truffle hunting season may be behind us, but Italian attention on the elusive fungi isn’t likely to fade until the David Di Donatello Awards in May. Twenty-eight-year-old Director Gabriele Fabbro, who in 2022 was named by Moviemaker Magazine as one of the top screenwriters to watch, is enjoying Award season buzz for his second film Trifole. The film’s October release in Italy spanned across 40 cinemas in Rome, Turin and Milan, and will likely hit U.S. theatres before this Spring.
TORONTO – La scorsa settimana è stata pubblicata una versione in lingua inglese della pubblicazione del 1982 Hollywood on the Tiber. I ricordi personali dei talent scout di grande bravura di Roma Hank Kaufman e Gene Lerner, hanno raccontato le vite di star del cinema glamour e hanno incluso aneddoti che coinvolgono attori e attrici iconici come Sophia Loren, Shelly Winters, Robert Graves e Marlon Brando.

And the enigmatic Brando, as expected, is the marketing lure for the English translation.
TORONTO – Da San Pietro a Papa Francesco, 266 pontefici hanno per lo più coltivato il legame celeste tra religione e arte e, nonostante lo strano disaccordo tra Papa e Poeta, i capolavori artistici sono stati spesso sponsorizzati o ispirati dalla Chiesa…
TORONTO – From St. Peter to Pope Francis, 266 pontiffs have mostly nurtured the heavenly connection between religion and art, and despite the odd disagreement between Pope and Poet, artistic masterpieces were often Church sponsored or inspired. Pope Julius II who successfully forced French Troops out of Italy in 1512 (his own work of art), commissioned Michelangelo to paint the Sistine Chapel. And Dante’s exile from Florence, ordered by Pope Boniface, effectively inspired his Divine Comedy. Today however, Pope Francis is talking to Artists in a new documentary titled, “Preacher of Beauty: A Spiritual Journey Through Art and Faith.”
