Carla Cornette, visiting assistant professor of Italian, and her students spent Block B in Italy for their course Cinecitt\u00e0: The Italian Hollywood. During the course, students received an introduction to Italian cinema from the post-World War II period until the present and experienced the spaces and places of Italian film and filmmaking. Experiences included meeting film director Alice Rohrwacher and the child protagonists of the film “The Pupils”, viewing a restored century-year old film, “Foolish Wives,” in Piazza Maggiore accompanied by a live orchestra, visiting the National Museum of Cinema in Turin, and more. The course culminated with a research project where students created their own original documentary on an aspect of their choice of Italian cinema from post-World War II to today.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n
