Eduardo De Filippo’s legend will be celebrated in Hollywood on the 40th anniversary of his death. Director Edoardo De Angelis and the actress and singer Lina Sastri will host the event “LA Italia On Stage – A Tribute to Eduardo” at the “Los Angeles Italia – Film, Fashion and Art Festival 2024”.

The classic Italian event promoted with the Ministry of Culture and Intesa Sanpaolo is to unfold March 3 through 9 at the Chinese Theater, showcasing the best of Italian entertainment on the eve of the Oscars, which this year include Garrone’s “I Captain” among its top five foreign contenders.

The most awaited appointment for Italian movies abroad enjoys the patronage of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Tourism, with the participation of Consulate General of Italy in Los Angeles, the Italian Trade Commission (ICE) and the Italian Cultural Institute Los Angeles.

“In the year of Marcello Mastroianni’s centenary, L.A. Italia will once again honor Eduardo De Filippo, who was appreciated by the legendary actor”, declared Tony Renis, the honorary president of the festival. “In a world inclined toward quickly consuming and forgetting”, continued the celebrated author of the song “Quando Quando Quando”, “we believe it is essential to increasingly support our great authors in the US as well, where we are proud to present the innovative director Edoardo De Angelis. Together with Picomedia, he has created a cinematic trilogy based on Eduardo’s most famous plays: the comedies ‘Natale in Casa Cupiello’ ‘Sabato, domenica e lunedì’ and ‘Non ti pago,’ all of them starring Sergio Castellitto.

De Angelis has enjoyed a significant year on the international scene, with the release of “Comandante” and the Netflix series “The Lying Life of Adults” by Elena Ferrante. To celebrate De Filippo, the Los Angeles, Italia stage will host the versatile artist Lina Sastri, who recently dedicated the acclaimed theater show “Eduardo mio” to her beloved “maestro.”

We are also pleased to highlight that Eduardo is the author of “Adelina,” the episode starring Sophia Loren which is part of “Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow,“ the film directed by Vittorio De Sica, which in 1965 earned the Oscar for Best International Feature Film.

Pinocchio arriva a Hollywood: il 18 aprile il film di Matteo Garrone protagonisti Federico Ielapi e Roberto Benigni aprirà il 16.mo Los Angeles Italia Festival promosso con il MiC e Intesa Sanpaolo, al Chinese Theatre. ”Un evento dal forte valore simbolico – sottolinea Marina Cicogna del board dell’Istituto Capri nel mondo – portare questa universale favola italiana magistralmente raccontata da Garrone, nel cinema più celebre, a pochi giorni dalla riapertura e alla vigilia degli Oscar per i quali concorre, ci riempie di orgoglio”.

Tutti a Hollywood sanno chi è Benigni, già entrato nella storia dell’Academy, ora sarà il bravissimo Federico Ielapi a far innamorare gli americani . Così come conquisterà tutti la creatività italiana dei candidati agli Oscar Massimo Cantini Parrini per i costumi e Mark Coulier, Dalia Colli e Francesco Pegoretti, per make up, trucco e acconciature, autentici artisti.
