exchange between North Europe and the Mediterranean Sea and grew to become the
ninth city in size and importance in the Roman Empire. This exhibition was created
in 2009 and since then has travelled around Europe explaining the history and the
role of Aquileia in the Roman Empire. In collaboration with Mitteleuropa Cultural
Association and Fogolâr Furlan D’Irlanda.

The Never Ending Road
and Walkabout Italia
An evening of travelling tales with Darinka Montico
Darinka is an Italian writer, photographer and blogger. In 2014 she decided to
devote herself to her passions: travelling, writing, dreaming and photography. She
walked 3,000 km from the bottom of Italy to its top collecting people’s dreams in a
box. In her journey she carried a diary, a camera and no money. The project, called
walkaboutitalia, became a blog and a book. She has just published her second book
Mondonauta and she is ready to start her new project The never ending road which
will see her sail the oceans and travel the world on a bike.

Incontri con la scienza
The Italian Institute of Culture is
pleased to continue its series of lectures
dedicated to science.
The speakers are Italian scientists with
backgrounds in different disciplines like
mathematics, neuroscience, music and
conservation. All these lectures will deal
with the surprising and exciting bridges
between art and science and their
impact on our culture.
Thursday 8th September - 6.30pm
Music and Mathematics
in J.S. Bach
with Benedetto Scimemi
Did you know that a melody can be represented as a plane graph where the heights
of the notes are plotted as a function of time? If proper geometrical transformations
(displacements, reflections etc.) are applied to the graph, a new melody is created, which a
clever composer can over-impose to the original so that pleasant harmonies are produced.
This art of “counterpoint” was masterly applied - with almost scientific methods by J.S. Bach in his Goldberg Variations. Benedetto Scimemi will consider several
examples by showing graphs and producing the corresponding sounds at the keyboard.
Wednesday 14th September - 6.30pm
Stefano Benni!
Event to be confirmed.

Beneath the Sea, and the remarkably successful Margherita Dolce Vita.
Benni is also the author of several volumes of essays and poetry and many collections

Director: Giorgio Diritti with Thierry Toscan,
Alessandra Agosti, Dario Anghilante, 110’
In Italian with English subtitles
The aging, conservative population of a small, sleepy village in the Italian Alps are
surprised to see that a former French teacher has settled there with his young wife
and their three children to produce goat cheese, in order to escape the wrongs of
civilization. At first they are suspicious of his unconventional ideas and lifestyle, then
are conquered by the enthusiasm, kindness, helpfulness of the young family and start
to see in them a possible rebirth of the place. But little by little misunderstandings,
envy and conflicts take over. (IMDb)

name as a guarantor against further loans. He is just days away from bankruptcy
unless the German company Zenith confirms the 15 million Euro share option deal.
Turin is a city paralysed by the financial crisis. Deserted factories, empty streets and
the distant sound of protest provide the backdrop for this incisive film. (IMDb)

poetry. Attanasio is the author of five collections of poetry and six works of historical
narrative. An ironic, often visionary, intensely political poet, Attanasio sees her poetry

Adamo, Trinity College Dublin.

Comma Queen invades Italy
In conversation with Mary Norris,
acclaimed author of “Between You & Me:
Confessions of a Comma Queen”
Can a best selling book about English grammar by an American copy editor (subeditor)
be translated into Italian? Basic differences between the languages suggest that it
would be difficult. For instance, the title, with its reference to a frequent blunder in
English (“I” instead of “me” in the phrase “between you and me”), is meaningless in
Italian. And yet Regina della Virgola has a nice ring to it. The Comma Queen will
discuss the response to her book in Europe and will tell us about her relationship with
the Italian language.
Wednesday 19th October - 8pm
Irish Architectural Archive,
45 Merrion Square East, D2, Free Admission

regime in order to establish a Movement based on social redemption.

Rodari’s stories through theatrical readings. The performances will play with words,
sounds and images, using some of the beautiful illustrations of Bruno Munari.
Monday 24th October - 6.30pm
Lunedì al Cinema - Si può fare
Director: Giulio Manfredonia. With Claudio Bisio, Anita
Caprioli, Giuseppe Battiston, Giorgio Colangeli, 111’
Set in Italy in the early 1980s the film follows Nello (Claudio Bisio), the recently hired
director of a newly developed work cooperative of former mental patients. With the
intention of actually improving the lives of his pupils, rather than just sedating them,
Nello encourages them to expand their individual abilities and explore the wider world
around them although, regardless of intention, there is sometimes a price to pay for
pushing boundaries too quickly. “We can do that” maintains a sometimes troubled, but
ultimately unwavering faith in human nature and human potential. (IMDb)
A conversation with Roddy Doyle:
Translating Don Giovanni
Event organised in partnership with
the UCD Foundation for Italian Studies

be moderated by Selena Daly, Lecturer in Italian Studies at University College Dublin.
Thursday 27th October - 6.30pm
Objects in Italian Life and Culture.
Fiction, Migration, and Artificiality
by Paolo Bartoloni - Book launch
1b
Italian life and culture are filled with objects that cross, accompany, facilitate or
disrupt experience, desires, and dreams. Yet in spite of their ubiquity, theoretical
engagement in the Italian context is still underdeveloped. Paolo Bartoloni
investigates four typologies—the fictional, migrant, multicultural/transnational, and
the artificial—to hypothesise that the ability to treat things as partners of emotional
and creative expression creates a sense of identity predicated on inclusivity, openness,
care, and attention.
28th & 31st October, 3rd & 6th November O’Reilly Theatre, Wexford
Box Office +353 53 912 2144 / 1850 4 OPERA
Wexford Opera Festival
Maria de Rudenz, Gaetano Donizetti
Opera in 3 acts. Libretto by Salvadore Cammarano.
Sung in Italian
Maria de Rudenz has been described as ‘perhaps the darkest of Donizetti’s tragedies’,
which is saying something and may account in part for the opera’s long-standing
neglect. This Autumn’s Irish première is the latest in a series of important Donizetti
revivals at Wexford. It is surely no coincidence that Wexford Festival Opera’s lifetime
has overlapped with Donizetti’s reversal of fortune – the composer who 65 years ago
was all but written off as intellectually disreputable has now regained his rightful
place in the operatic canon.
Tuesday 1st November - 6.30pm

Thursday 3rd November - 6.30pm
Giovedì all’Opera - L’Italiana in Algeri
Director: Davide Livermore. Conductor: José Ramón
Encinar with Anna Goryachova, Alex Esposito, Yijie
Shi, Mario Cassi, 153’
Introduction by Deirdre O’Grady, film in Italian with English subtitles.
Pirates, shipwreck, and the triumph of feminine guile and coquetry over male
chauvinism all combined to make Rossini’s tenth opera. The protagonist Isabella is
a sparkling reflection of eighteenth-century refinement, married to a new freedom of
musical and dramatic expression. The new buffo style - ‘organized lunacy’ in the words
of Stendhal, provides entertainment through a varied range of emotions.
Operatic patriotism makes a discreet appearance.
Monday 7th November - 6.30pm

The Neurobiology of Depression.
How to beat the disease of the 20th century?
With Max Bianchi
Depression has chased human history and evolution: the Greek physician Hippocrates
used to call it “melancholia” and one thousand years later the English writer Samuel
Johnson nicknamed it the “black dog”. What are the biological alterations linked to a
depressed brain and body?
Max Bianchi (Trinity College Dublin) will address these questions and present the
discoveries of his team, with the aim of facilitating the understanding of depression.
Lunedì al cinema - Corpo Celeste
Director: Alice Rohrwacher. With Yle Vianello,
Salvatore Cantalupo, Pasqualina Scuncia, Drama, 100’,
2012. In Italian with English subtitles
In a dismal urban landscape a congregation of the faithful has gathered to honour
the Madonna. The scene is contemporary Italy, apparent in the cheap clothes worn by
the crowd, the frightful music spewing from the loudspeakers and the digital picture.
Corpo Celeste is the first full-length film by Alice Rohrwacher. The story of Marta
gradually unfolds, a teenager struggling to come to grips with her body and religion,
with her family and the church, but ultimately this beautiful child becomes a real
cinema heroine. (T. Sotinel, The Guardian)
Tuesday 15th November - 6.30pm

Director: Davide Livermore. Conductor: Will Crutchfield
with Ewa Podleś, Jessica Pratt, Michael Spyres, Mirco
Palazzi, 165’
Aventi’s libretto reflects the eighteenth-century enlightenment conflict between
freedom and tyranny. It treats of the threatening of a grieving woman, Amira wife of
Ciro, by Baldassare King of Babylon, while using her son as a pawn. Ciro in disguise
gains access to the court of the tyrant but on being discovered is condemned to death.
He is freed when the Persian army conquers Babylon. A ‘semi-serious’ opera which
combines heroic endurance, family values and a happy ending.

Lunedì al Cinema Effedia, sulla mia cattiva strada
Documentary on Italian artist Fabrizio De André in
collaboration with Fondazione De André. TBC
Born into a rich Genoese family in 1940, De André quickly showed both musical talent
and a rebellious streak. He dropped out of law school after receiving royalties from a
song he sold to the famous Italian pop star Mina. This song was the first evidence of
his lifelong fascination with the low-life characters populating Genoa’s back streets. De
André famously sang: “Nothing grows on diamonds, flowers grow in the dung.”
This documentary features songs and interviews with De André and other people
related to the artist and his music.
Thursday 1st December - 6.30pm
Giovedì all’Opera - Il Turco in Italia
Director: Guido De Monticelli. Conductor: Antonello
Allemandi with Marco Vinco, Alessandra Marianelli,
Andrea Concetti, Filippo Adami, Bruno Taddia, 165’
A poet in search of a plot, a Turk in search of an Italian wife, and a spoiled Neapolitan
wife who needs to be taught a lesson. This is the subject of Rossini’s charming comedy
Il Turco in Italia. The opera humorously confronts Italian and Turkish customs, and
parodies the Italian Cicisbeo / Cavalier Servente, the approved gallant of aristocratic
married women in eighteenth and nineteenth century Italy. This traditional
production highlights character interaction in colourful staging and costuming.
Monday 5th December - 6.30pm

woman, Davide decides to write the autobiography in secret, in the place of his father.

dell’Arte manner tells of an older suitor Slook, an American/Canadian merchant, who

Giovanna (Alba Rohrwacher) studies. Michele is a loving father but overprotective. He
does not recognize the mental health problems of his daughter, and can not save her
from a tragic fate (IMDb).
