CinemaItaliaUK Special Screening of The Divine Madness of Alda Merini + Q&A with Laura Morante
The screening is organised in collaboration with the Italian Institute in London.
In Ripa di Porta Ticinese, on the Navigli, there is an apartment whose door is always open. Often crossing it are intellectuals, singers, journalists, but also simple onlookers. They are all there for her, Alda: 70 years old, polished nails, cigarette always lit, a chaos in which she is at ease. But what makes her so special? Her poetry, of course, but perhaps also her life without half - measures, which she herself recounts, with irony and sagacity, to a young intellectual, Arnoldo.PT1H41MTBC2025-03-21
