Alida Valli is Livia Serpieri, a nineteenth-century countess supportive of the cause of Italian independence, espoused by her patriot cousin, count Usseri (played by Massimo Girotti). She puts her marriage and political principles on the line by engaging in a torrid affair with a dashing but vile Austrian lieutenant, played by Farley Granger. Besides the ill-fated illicit love story, the class clash, the outstanding classical soundtrack (Verdi and Bruckner), the luxurious aristocratic sets and the actual palazzi that open on breathtaking beauty of the Italian countryside,  the real core of the movie is the betrayal of the <em>Risorgimento<\/em> cause. Visconti, who succeeds in representing lively the historical background in which this melodramatic romance takes place, vibrantly highlights the political and ideological crisis that Italian patriots face after the defeat at the Battle of Custoza.  Considered an extraordinary tribute to the Italian <em>Risorgimento, Senso<\/em> is an operatic melodrama evoking reckless emotions with strong social and historical connotations.<\/p>\n<p>Introduced and moderated by Dr. David Del Principe and Dr. Teresa Fiore (Spanish and Italian Department, Montclair State University)<br \/>\n2:00pm Refreshments<br \/>\n2:30pm Brief introduction to the movie and screening<br \/>\n4.45pm Q&amp;A<\/p>\n<p>Sponsored by the Inserra Chair in Italian and Italian American Studies and the Coccia Institute in collaboration with the Amici Club<\/p>\n<p>Events on similar <a href=\"\/inserra-chair\/events\/events-by-category\/#film\">film topics<\/a><\/p>\n<p>[<a href=\"#top\">top<\/a>]<\/p>\n<h3><a name=\"bertelli\"><\/a><strong><em>Preservation and Composition in Italy&#8217;s Folk Music<\/em>.

While concentrating on the Italian repertoire, he will also address classic cases related to the U.S. scene, with specific reference to socially engaged songs. Mention will also be made to the invaluable work of Alan Lomax, an American ethnomusicologist active in Italy (among many other places), whose recordings have been vital to the field. Bertelli will play a selection of traditional, rearranged, and original songs to illustrate these topics.<\/p>\n<p><em>Gualtiero Bertelli<\/em><br \/>\nBorn in Venice, Bertelli comes from a proletarian family with a strong passion for music. Over his long career, he has constantly combined his research interests in Venetian folk music with social, political, and historical themes. He is the founder and an active member of several folk groups (Canzoniere Popolare Veneto, Nuovo Canzoniere Veneto), which have been central to the Italian scene since the 1960s. Bertelli has worked with famous cantautori popolari (folk singsong writers) such as Giovanna Marini and Paolo Pietrangeli. In 1982 he was awarded the Tenco Prize for the song <em>Barche de carta<\/em> (Paper boats) for Best Dialect Song. With &#8220;La Compagnia delle Acque,&#8221; an eclectic group of musicians, singers and actors that he founded and directs, Bertelli performs shows in Italy and abroad on issues as diverse as migrations, liberation movements, pop culture under Fascism, and labor songs.

Starring Burt Lancaster as Prince Salina, the Sicilian leopard of the title, an aging patrician whose declining fortunes under Garibaldi and the fights for independence of the 1860s lead him to arrange a financially advantageous marriage between his nephew Tancredi (Alain Delon) and Angelica (Claudia Cardinale), the daughter of a rich merchant, Don Calogero Sedara (Paolo Stoppa).
