The Italian Institute of Culture in Dublin will host the third screening of its autumn “Monday at the Cinema” series on October 6, featuring Croce e delizia by Simone Godano.

The film tells the story of the Castelvecchio family—eccentric, free-spirited, but also self-absorbed and divided—and the Petagna family, their polar opposite: close-knit, humble, and bound by traditional, conservative values. What brings these two very different families together to spend a summer holiday side by side?

The film will be shown in Italian with English subtitles and will be introduced with a short talk on the director and the context of the work.
