The Italian Institute of Culture and the Italian House Zerilli-Marimò of New York University are hosting three film screenings and a special cultural event to celebrate the 27th edition of the festival in the United States. The first part will take place at Casa Italiana with the screening of "Franca: Caos e Creazione" (Franca: Chaos and Creation) by Francesco Carrozzini on Tuesday, November 14th (18:00).
