Fate Come Noi – March 06, 2010 @ 6:00 pm
The film is about the life of two young boys who live in Torbellamonaca suburb in Rome. “Bove” is 23, sturdy, a “pretty boy” who is apparently street wise in life and with women. The “Pechino” is exactly opposite: 18, skinny, still an adolescent and insecure, but forced to take account of his life. The two find themselves face to face with people who are different in age, culture and social background. But in spite of these differences, “Bove” and “Pechino” manage to unwittingly act as intermediaries between a grandmother and her nephew and between a mother and her baby girl. And as a result the differences melt away and even the gap in the big city, between the center and the suburbs seem to be bridged.

Uno Su Due – March 07, 2010 @ 6:30 pm
Lorenzo has earned almost everything with great determination and without looking back – a house, envious friend, a woman who loves him, an established position; when just as he is about to undertake the “business” which will make him a very rich man, he suddenly falls sick, a possible prognosis of a malignant brain tumor, which will cause him to be uncertain, to suffer painfully as he waits for the results of the biopsy. The one who understands him is the patient in the bed next to him… Giovanni provides a much-needed dose of patience and humor. Giovanni has his problematic past: a daughter he hasn’t seen in years. As Life looms over death and once he has left the hospital, it is then Lorenzo will really discover his strength and understands that he needs to go far and find something really meaningful. So as a gratitude to Giovanni, Lorenzo travels to Umbria to find Giovanni’s daughter and bring her to back Genoa, to see her father.

Liberi – March 08, 2010 @ 6:30 pm
The closure of a chemical factory and the sacking of scores of the workers is a sudden shock to the family and they are delimited by tension and worries. “Liberi”, according to the director Gianluca Maria Tavarelli wanted to show the search for freedom in our path is what we have to create ourselves. When Liberi loses his job, as the head of the family he also loses his social and civil identity and he feels worthless of himself and also in the eyes of his son. This father-son relationship is the basis of Tavarelli’s story. Two former workers from Montedison factory are the main characters in the film. Their families and the inhabitants of Bussi (in the Pescara region) live through a very similar situation in real life.

About ‘Festa Italiana 2010′:
In 2010, Festa Italiana is launching an innovative initiative which exalts its spirit and aims to acquaint an increasingly wider audience with Italian products through the continuous promotion of “Italianity” that is winning the respect and trust of Indians. The Vetrina Italiana Shopping Festival will guide Indian customers looking for stores in Mumbai where one can buy Italian products.
This year also sees the return of the Impresa Awards, the prize for outstanding entrepreneurial initiatives that, while strengthening Indo-Italian economic relations, stood out for their contribution in areas like innovation, environment-friendliness, social responsibility, business excellence and market presence.
ClassItalia offers a series of training programs and demonstrations intended to provide specialized knowledge and skills in the areas of fashion, design, tourism & cusine which are globally recognized as the reference point of Italian excellence.
As usual, there will be events dedicated to tourism and fashion. ENIT is organising Showcase Italy, a photographic exhibition on Italy at one of the biggest malls in the city, Inorbit Mall at Vashi. For this 8th edition, the Marangoni Institute is presenting a seminar on E-Fashion, which will offer a perspective on how to promote and sell fashion brands in the new digital context.
FormeTempoCultura, one of the outstanding cultural events of Festa Italiana 2010 is organizing a photography exhibition organised in collaboration with the Italian Embassy in New Delhi, the Italian Institute of Culture and ENIT, titled 44 World Heritage Sites in Italy through the Lens of 14 Italian Photographers.
