This month Gallery 40 is showing La Dea Fortuna from director Ferzan Özpetek – 2019. The movie is filmed in Roma and has an amazing soundtrack. Some of the songs went on to win most of the prestigious Italian and European awards.
A brief intro: Alessandro and Arturo have been a couple for more than 15 years. Although passion and love have turned into an important affection, their relationship has been in crisis for some time. The sudden arrival in their lives of two children left in custody for a few days by Alessandro’s best friend could give an unexpected turn to their tired routine. The solution will be a crazy gesture; on the other hand, love is a state of pleasant madness
We will accompany the movie with a wine tasting with a grape from the northern side of the county, Orvieto.
Orvieto is an Italian white wine from the Umbria region that is low in alcohol and tastes fruity with flavours of green apple, citrus, figs, melon, peaches and pears. Orvieto is delicious with seafood dishes, although we love to pair it with pizza !!!
The movie is in Italian with English subtitle. Suggested donation $5 to support the program and the Italian School.
