A BROOKLYN LOVE STORY & GARBO DREAMS Join us for an evening of staged reading excerpts from two plays written and performed by two talented Italian-American women; Chiara Montalto and Lauren LoGiudice. A BROOKLYN LOVE STORY, by Chiara Montalto, is a tale set in Brooklyn about the profound effect a grandfather and his granddaughter have on each other as one’s life is ending while the other’s is just beginning. Equally hilarious and touching, A BROOKLYN LOVE STORY is based on the playwright’s own experience, having spent the greater part of her twenties living with her grandfather. The play GARBO DREAMS is a portrayal of the powerful scenario in which Greta Garbo faces the last hours of her life and is forced to make choices that will affect her legacy. Everyone’s heard that she wanted “to be left alone,” but what happened from there? No one’s ever truly been sure. According to actor, model and stage impresario Lauren LoGiudice, GARBO DREAMS serves as a loving homage to a woman who taught her how to belong to herself. $20 Donation per person to attend. Light Fare & Refreshments will be served. Space is Limited. Advance Reservations requested and appreciated.

Immigrants: Let Us Entertain You As Hurricane Sandy damaged both Liberty and Ellis Islands, the National Park Rangers were looking to partner with organizations to bring free educational programs from the islands to communities for the 10th Annual Immigrant Heritage Week. The programs have been designed to showcase chronicles of Ellis Island, America’s largest and most active immigration station, and the immigrants who passed through its port. Please join us for “Immigrants: Let Us Entertain You” a community based interactive and informational presentation by a neighborhood park ranger in conjunction with the National Park Service and the Office of Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg’s 10th Annual Immigrant Heritage Week. Between 1892 and 1954, immigration officials processed over 12 million immigrants at Ellis Island. Immigrants helped build the United States of America and their efforts continue to define and enrich our nation’s and our city’s identity. Some of those passing through Ellis Island reaped a variety of riches in their adopted home. Some were honored for their contributions to variety of fields. As we celebrate this year’s Immigrant Heritage Week, we salute immigrants who entered through the doors of Ellis Island and went on to leave an indelible mark on the arts. Attendees will be able to see the ship manifest records of Bob Hope, Cary Grant, Irving Berlin and Maria Von Trapp. They will also hear about three Ellis Island immigrants who were eventually elected Mayor of New York City. In addition, participants will discuss immigrants who made significant contributions to the fields of architecture and dance, and children will enjoy hearing the story of Chef Boyardee (yes, he too arrived at Ellis Island!). Participants will experience the story of Ellis Island and be provided with tips to preserve their own family stories for generations to come. This is a 45-minute program suitable for participants 10 Years of Age to Adult. Tuesday, April 23, 2013 @ 6PM FREE ADMISSION. DONATIONS WELCOME.

Trip to see “The Little Flower” solo play set in the office of Fiorello H. La Guardia on his final day as a three-term Mayor of New York City in 1945, THE LITTLE FLOWER presents a historic look into the life and career of the great statesman. A champion of the poor and underprivileged, La Guardia’s voice resonated throughout America, and he became a father figure to millions that lived through the hard times of the 1930s and 40s. He transcended political party barriers, running as a Fusion Party Mayor, and held strong convictions on family values, inflation, women’s suffrage, financial responsibility, education, unions, political corruption and prohibition. A courageous and flamboyant personality who cleaned up city politics and also made the time to read the comics on the radio to children during a newspaper strike, La Guardia set a new standard for American politics. “A delight! New York’s most colorful mayor comes alive. A wonderful evening of theater. Tony Lo Bianco is brilliant!” – Jeffrey Lyons, WNBC 5:45 pm – Meet/Park at Casa Belvedere. $80 per person includes arrival reception and refreshments, show tickets and round trip bus transportation.

Il Presepio Della Solidarietà (The Solidarity Creche)
Il Presepio Della Solidarietà is a gift of friendship and solidarity from the Naples, Italy Chamber of Commerce to The New York City Fire Department in honor of the victims of 9/11 and the brave Firefighters, Police and EMS workers that made the ultimate sacrifice. The crèche was donated to The New York City Fire Department on December 19, 2001 at a solemn ceremony organized by the Associazione Internazionale Magna Grecia, in conjunction with the Regional Cultural Association of Campania. This handcrafted work of art was created by master artisans of the Campania Region of Italy and is consistent with techniques that date back to the seventeenth century. It occupies a fifty-four square feet area and is comprised of 120 pieces including 83 figurines and 28 animals. The majestic set is the work of Master Giovanni Sinno, whereas the figures were modeled by master artisans Alfredo Molli, Ulderigo Pinfildi and Giovanni Sinno himself. The “art” of creating these individual pieces is passed down generation to generation and is very specific to the Neapolitan region of Italy. The diminutive figures of the crib are skillfully articulated with precise expressions on the faces made of terracotta, the detailed hands and feet made of wood, the strong bodies made of hemp and iron, and the 18th Century style, some quite elaborate, cloths made of silk and cotton. In 2011, The International Columbia Association of the FDNY entrusted The Italian Cultural Foundation at Casa Belvedere to be the custodians of this important and significant display. “Il Presepio Della Solidarietà” will be on display at Flynn Hall from December 10, 2012 – January 6, 2013.

HABEMUS PAPAM (We Have A Pope) – 2011 Nanni Moretti joins forces with the great French actor Michel Piccoli to tell the story of Melville, a cardinal who suddenly finds himself elected as the next Pope. Never the front runner and completely caught off guard, he panics as he’s presented to the faithful in St. Peter’s Square. To prevent a worldwide crisis, the Vatican’s spokesman calls in an unlikely psychiatrist who is neither religious or all that committed, played by Moretti, to find out what is wrong with the new Pope. As the world nervously waits outside, inside the therapist tries to find a solution. But Cardinal Melville is adamant: he does not want the job, or at least needs time to think it over. What follows is a marvelous insight into the concept of a human being existing behind the title of God’s representative on Earth. Admission to the film festival is free and everyone is encouraged to bring a beach chair or a blanket. Donations are welcome and refreshments will be sold. Parking is available across the street at Notre Dame Academy. Screenings begin at 8:00 PM, Rain or Shine.

LE CHIAVI DI CASA (THE KEYS TO THE HOUSE) – (2004) “Prepare yourself for suffering if you intend to be close to him;” are the words of the mother of a young woman with severe disabilities, speaking to Gianni, the father of 16-year-old Paolo – himself developmentally disabled. Gianni abandoned the boy at birth when the child’s mother died. Paulo’s aunt and uncle, who have been raising him since, contacted Gianni to ask that he take Paulo to Berlin for a battery of medical tests. Images of people walking, running, skating, and dancing dot the screen as Gianni and Paulo get to know each other. Over a few days, Gianni tries to sort out his obligations and his desires. Will he accept his role as father to this engaging, mercurial, disabled youth? Admission to the film festival is free and everyone is encouraged to bring a beach chair or a blanket.

ROMANZO CRIMINALE (CRIME NOVEL) – (2005) This highly acclaimed award-winning film is based on Giancarlo De Cataldo’s 2002 novel inspired by the true story of the Banda della Maglian – one of the most powerful Italian criminal associations that dominated Rome’s criminal activities from the early 1970s to 1992. The gang’s career began with kidnapping members of wealthy families and their interests soon evolved to include drug dealing, money laundering, and horserace betting. They were known affiliates with neo-fascist activists, terrorist organizations as well as criminal organizations like the Mafia, Camorra, and ‘Ndrangheta and many more. The 1979 assassination of journalist Carmine Pecorelli; the 1978 murder of former Prime minister Aldo Moro; the 1982 assassination attempt against Roberto Rosone; Roberto Calvi’s 1982 murder; the 1980 Bologna massacre and the 1981 assassination attempt on Pope John Paul II have been tied to the Banda della Maglian. Admission to the film festival is free and everyone is encouraged to bring a beach chair or a blanket. Donations are welcome and refreshments will be sold. Parking is available across the street at Notre Dame Academy. Screenings begin at 8:00 PM, Rain or Shine.

IO, L’ALTRO MPAA Rating: Not Rated Meet Mohsen Melliti, the film’s writer, director and producer! Mohsen Melliti beautifully depicts how the generalized “war on terror” is manifested in an intimate, decade-long friendship. An Italian, Giuseppe (Italian for Joseph) and a Tunisian, Youssef (Arabic for Joseph) not only share the same name, but are the only men that work on and share ownership of a Mediterranean fishing boat, called Medea. A radio report of terrorism changes the atmosphere on the Medea. The fabricated creation and perpetuation of the “other” sadly comes to fruition as trust and friendship rapidly unravel. Mohsen Melliti subtly loads Io, l’altro with non-verbal communication, misunderstandings, paranoia and displays how the “war on terror” can destroy intimacy, trust, friendship, and life. Io, l’altro won “Best First Film” at the Italian Golden Globes, “Best Film” at the Magnagrecia Film Festival, “Special Jury Prize” at the Italian Film Festival, and “Best Film Public’s Award” at the Brasilia International Festival. Although Io, l’altro is Melliti’s first feature film, he has made several documentaries prior to this feature debut. Additionally, he is the author of several books and many newspaper articles. Melliti is a Tunisian native who has lived in Italy since 1991. He currently resides both in NYC and Italy. The film’s director Mohsen Melliti will be at Casa Belvedere to introduce the film, provide commentary and lead a post screening Q & A. Admission to the film festival is free and everyone is encouraged to bring a beach chair or a blanket. Donations are welcome and refreshments will be sold. Parking is available across the street at Notre Dame Academy. Screenings begin at 8:00 PM, Rain or Shine. Please note that many of the films have not been rated and may not be suitable for younger audiences. |

CATERINA VA IN CITTÀ (CATERINA IN THE BIG CITY) – (2003) Caterina is the 13-year-old only child of an aspiring novelist and accounting teacher at a country school in a rural area north of Rome. In spite of his often lucid assessments of modern society, he is a burned-out teacher whose job (perhaps among other, undisclosed personal experiences) has imbued him with bitterness, social resentment, a sheer lack of perspective concerning human relations and an overbearing holier-than-thou demeanor that is a major plot point throughout the film. After finally securing a long-coveted teaching position, he relocates his daughter Caterina and his timid, long-suffering, wife Agata to his birthplace, the big city of Rome. Admission to the film festival is free and everyone is encouraged to bring a beach chair or a blanket. Donations are welcome and refreshments will be sold. Parking is available across the street at Notre Dame Academy. Screenings begin at 8:00 PM, Rain or Shine.
