After lockdown break, ‘Visioni d’Autore’ returns on Thursday, October 1 at 21.00 at Cinéma Sala Pegasus, with the sixth meeting of the year and first of the new film season 2020/21.
Director Gianluca De Serio will meet Spoleto audience and present “Spaccapietre”, a movie shot together with his twin brother Massimiliano and presented in competition at Venice Days as part of the 77th Venice Film Festival.
The film features actor Salvatore Esposito (“Gomorra”) and the soundtrack signed by the Gatto Ciliegia contro il Grande Freddo, who also were at the Lido with “Miss Marx” by Susanna Nicchiarelli.
On the occasion of their participation in the Venice Film Festival, the two directors presented their movie as follows:
“In Spaccapietre art and personal biography are inseparably intertwined. The story at the center of the film takes its cue from a news story of a few summers ago, the death at work of the Apulian laborer Paola Clemente, and the absurd coincidence with the death of our paternal grandmother, who died working in the same fields in 1958. And, like Giuseppe’s father in the film, our paternal grandfather, before leaving for Turin in the ’60s, was also a stone-breaker. The film is first and foremost an attempt to regain possession of a soul, that of our grandmother we never knew, through the story and body of another woman. But it is also a film of paternal love in which the themes of death, violence, fear, love and revenge emerge pure”.
The screening will be followed by Q&A led by Roberto Lazzerini, an expert film trainer.
Tickets are available in advance during the opening hours of the cinema and online on www.cinemasalapegasus.it

On September 4 and October 2, the festival La Voce della Terra will stage an event in Spoleto.
Friday 4 September in downtown Spoleto (times TBD), The Fantomatik Orchestra will perform; this ensemble from Tuscany is composed of 14 musicians and started as a funky, soul and rhythm’n’blues group, influenced by ethnic, pop and dance music. The Fantomatik Orchestra has been performing on the streets and stages of many cities in Italy and abroad; has opened for great artists and was featured in TV broadcasts, theatre and cinema events, developing an original identity that makes it unique and unlike any traditional, street or marching band. Great arrangements and the funk, rock, ethnic, prog, jazz and pop repertoire, express all the energy and vitality of the musicians, involving entertainers like few others.
Friday 2 October at the Teatro Nuovo “Gian Carlo Menotti” (at 21.00), grand finale with the Neri per Caso.

After the success of the first edition, the Free Wor(l)d Festival for Freedom of Expression – born in Spoleto last year with the idea of putting people back at the centre through culture and information – the second edition is full of content and relationships. Challenging the difficulties brought about by the current Covid-19 health emergency, the Board of Directors, coordinated by Valentina Tatti Tonni, has proposed four days, from 15 to 18 October 2020, for a thematic festival dedicated to Disinformation, to be present in the territory in an itinerant way, with a series of events designed for the community.
The opening will be a long-distance meeting with schools in the morning of 15 October 2020: in collaboration with the Spoleto Anti-Violence Centre, pedagogist Adelaide Coletti and the president of GIULIA Giornaliste Silvia Garambois will conduct a debate with the junior high-school students, on the theme of sexist and discriminatory languages and the Venice Manifesto. In the afternoon, the book La lingua disonesta by Edoardo Lombardi Vallauri, professor of linguistics at the Roma Tre University, will be presented at the Albornoz Hotel; in the evening at the Albornoz Hotel there will be a concert by the well-known and appreciated Trio Francioli, Marino, Scarabottini. The morning with the schools will be repeated on Friday 16 October 2020 with teacher and writer Lorella Zanardo and film director Cesare Cantù, with the aim of providing students of the last three years of high school with useful tools for interpretation and media education. Zanardo’s format – Screens, if you know them, you don’t avoid them – exported all over Italy as a meeting and show will continue in the evening at the Albornoz Hotel, directed to a wider audience interested in the conscious use of media. In the afternoon the exhibition Il pozzo dei desideri (Italian for “Wishing Well”) by acclaimed photographer Emanuela Duranti will be inaugurated in the town hall in via del Mercato.
On the weekend, the theme of Disinformation will be discussed in two conferences, both at the Albornoz Hotel. On Saturday, October 17, 2020, there will be an open debate in the dynamic style of the Ted Talks (everyone answering from their point of view the question What is true and what is really false?) with the Deputy Secretary General of CittadinanzAttiva Anna Lisa Mandorino, the sociolinguist Vera Gheno, the journalist and president of “Cittadini Reattivi” Rosy Battaglia, the journalist collaborating with Il Sole 24Ore on Travel and Tourism Sara Magro, the lawyer expert in international law Laura Guercio and the actor Mirko Frezza. In the afternoon there will be a conference on human rights with the director of Altraeconomia Duccio Facchini, the sociologist Eurispes Marco Omizzolo, the Equo Garantito councillor Fabrizio Cuniberti and the president of Il Ponte Solidale Stefania Guerrucci. Still on the same theme, in the evening at Sala Frau, the film (ticket: 5 euros) directed by Mick Jackson La verità negata will be screened.
Sunday 18 October 2020, last day of the 2020 Free Wor(l)d Festival, in the morning at the Sala Pegasus there will be a tribute to Andrea Camilleri after one year from his passing, participated by director and dramatist Lorenzo Salveti: Andrea Giuliano, Diletta Masetti and Giorgia Fagotto Fiorentini will read selected passages and there will be an intervention by don Luigi Ciotti. At the Sala Frau there will be the award-giving ceremony of the first edition of the Scientific-Literary Competition “Bernardino Ragni”, intended for the third and fourth classes of second level high schools and continued despite the Covid-19 containment measures, thanks to the tenacity and passion of the teachers who have taken an interest in the students; the competition is promoted by the Associazione Il Contrappunto and IIS Sansi Leonardi Volta. Finally, at 6 p.m. at the Teatro Nuovo Gian Carlo Menotti, the Festival is pleased to propose at the end of this second edition the theatrical performance (ticket: 10 euros) Aletheia: theatre of voices and bodies of women directed by Fabiana Vivani, together with an art exhibition by Maura Coltorti.
