Selected films pay homage to the glorious past and present-day traditions that help to make the ancient port city of Naples one of the most captivating sites along Italy’s southern coast. Each screening offers a different perspective—from John Turturro’s tribute to the city’s rich musical heritage and Vittorio de Sica’s portrait of Neapolitan life at midcentury to a documentary that unearths 2,500 years of history hidden beneath the Bay of Naples and the city’s labyrinthine streets. Free program; offered in conjunction with Flesh and Blood: Italian Masterpieces from the Capodimonte Museum.
Passione (directed by John Turturro, 2010, 95 min.)
