This essay examines a series of television programmes produced by Anna Zanoli for the RAI during the years 1968 to 1974. Each episode of the programmes in question is hosted by a notable cultural figure and dedicated to the promotion of a ‘forgotten’ work of Italian art, architectural monument or landscape. The essay argues that by exploring Italy’s rich visual-cultural patrimony through the use of a new popular media, Zanoli’s programmes seek to…

In “Godspeed and Perpetua,” Barrett carefully portrays complicated family dynamics, the clash between faith and skepticism, tensions …
Unattainable horizons
This article considers the realms of space, time and body in Daniele Ciprì and Franco Maresco's films Lo zio di Brooklyn (1995), Totò che visse due volte (1998) and the shorter A memoria (1996).

Later in life it helps Dorfman recognize the enemy’s humanity. Language itself is as fluid and interco…
