Conversation with author Laura Delli Colli
Scrept reading by actress Aurora Giovinazzo
Moderator: Steve Della Casa

Monica is not a book for cinephiles. Instead, it is an impassioned account written by a great cinema expert, but above all by someone who was for a long time close to the great actress who had just passed away, before the last part – the withdrawn and shadowy part – of her life began.
The account by Laura Delli Colli, a film critic who comes from a historic family of cinematographers, delicately interweaves Vitti’s personal events with those of her film career, for an unprecedented portrait, as intimate and emotional as it is rich in anecdotes and vicissitudes, of one of the greatest actresses of Italian and international cinema, a woman with a complex and original personality, who lived her unrepeatable life in the years of great artistic ferment and cultural revolution.
