Event Details : Screening of the film 'Il Gattopardo – The Leopard (2nd part)'. 

Sicily, in the 1860s. It is a time of social and political upheaval, with a fragmented Italy heading towards unification. The ageing Prince Don Fabrizio of Salina senses that his era is coming to an end, that his aristocratic past will count for little in this new, vulgar present which sees power shifting towards an emerging Bourgeois class. Rather than fight the transition, he plays along with it, knowing that this is the only way he can survive in this new world in which the noble leopard must give way to the common jackal. He does not oppose the decision of his favoured nephew, Tancredi Falconeri, to fight in Garibaldi’s army and, when Tancredi returns to Sicily a hero, the Prince contrives to have him marry beneath his rank, to the daughter of a wealthy mayor. At a lavish ball, Don Fabrizio reflects on his own obsolescence and finally accepts that his time has passed.
