Event Details : Screening of the film 'I Vicere (The Viceroys)'. 

The story is set in mid 1800 during the last years of Bourbon rule in Sicily, before the birth of the Italian state. The Uzeda family, descendants of the Viceroy of Spain, meet on the occasion of the death of Princess Teresa. Through the eyes of young Consalvo, the last descendant of the Uzeda, their mysteries, their intrigues, their complex personalities slave to obsessions and passions, are gradually revealed. Inspired by the novel written in 1894 by Federico De Roberto, the film depicts the infighting for the inheritance of the wealth of the dead princess and for the contrasting desires of each family member. Young Consalvo grows up in this ambience of continuous internal strife. He is comforted in his early years by the love of his ill-fated mother and by the affections of a small sister, accomplice in every venture. The father, Prince Giacomo is superstitious and tyrannical, more interested in the family patrimony than in the love of his dear ones, ready to forget a dying wife and marry a cousin soon after. Consalvo, shunted between a life of deprivation in a monastery and the corruption and pomp of the Spanish nobility, grows up to be a reckless rebel. But the world of compromises and vile that surrounds him teaches him a lesson and he chooses to seize all power so as not to let this world overpower him. But soon he realises that he must change and become a man and against the wishes of his father he is able to make the extreme choice. He begins to study, to travel, to learn…
