Next Monday, May 4th, Bank Holiday, starting at 6 pm, we are very proud to be hosting a wonderful documentary about the first Italian woman to be a film director, Elvira Notari.

The film explores her story and the reasons why we don't know much about her.

It's a special screening because the director and producer will be there with us in person!
They're travelling to England to promote the film, under the patronage of the Italian Cultural Institute.

We are very much looking forward to hosting director Valerio Ciriaci and producer Antonella Di Nocera in Exeter!

It will be a very special event, as both Valerio and Antonella will be with us to introduce the film and they will stay, together with Professor Danielle Hipkins and Dr Alessia Risi for the Q&A to follow the film, hosted by Valentina Todino (Italian Cultural Association Exeter).

The event starts at 6pm with a brief introduction by the director, the film length is 90 minutes. The Q&A will follow. It will end by 8.30 at the latest.

It will be a great event and we can't wait!

Book soon to avoid disappointment as we normally sold out!!!

25th April - Giornata della Liberazione

We normally crowd together on this day to commemorate and remember the Italian resistance and the liberation from Nazists and Fascists.
This is year we got together before, last week, for a beautiful event in the community. But today we still feel that we must not forget that being united is the only way ahead. We’re all part of each other, we are all equally important in our fight for freedom.

Grazie for creating these beautiful flowers, during our event last week.

W la libertà! 🌹
