Event Description : "The Vitelloni" film screening. 

"The Vitelloni" is a name given to those young people from good families in the province, who spend their days doing nothing, but having coffee, playing pool, taking a walk, having fruitless love affairs and vain plans. These are five friends living in their small town: Fausto, Moraldo, Alberto, Leopoldo and Riccardo. Fausto has a love affair with Sandra, Moraldo’s sister. It so happens that their relationship is not without consequences: Sandra is expecting a baby and, in obedience to his father’s wishes, Fausto must do his duty by marrying Sandra. But neither marriage nor fatherhood have the virtue of making Fausto serious. Fausto is always the same "vitellone", lover of idleness, of adventures, of pastimes. He cheats on his wife by flirting with his employer’s wife, which makes him lose the job that his father-in-law had gotten him. 

Recognized as a pivotal work in the director's artistic evolution, the film has distinct autobiographical elements that mirror important societal changes in 1950s Italy. Recipient of both the Venice Film Festival Silver Lion in 1953, and an Academy Award nomination for Best Writing in 1958, the film's success restored Fellini's reputation after the commercial failure of The White Sheik (1952).
