Ornella Muti Brings "Racconti Di Cinema" To Locri

The acclaimed actress will share stories and music from her celebrated career on January 10, 2025.

Ornella Muti, one of Italy's most beloved actresses, will grace the stage with her performance titled "Racconti di Cinema" on January 10, 2025, at the Auditorium Palazzo della Cultura in Locri, Italy. This event is part of the 31st Theatre Season of Locride 2024-2025, organized by the Centro Teatrale Meridionale (CTM) and directed artistically by Domenico Pantano.

The performance promises to be intimate and engaging, with Muti showcasing her illustrious career through narratives and anecdotes interspersed with musical interludes. The show is produced by Evetimes and aims to provide audiences with glimpses behind the scenes of her long-standing presence in cinema.

Muti’s storytelling will be complemented by musical performances from guitarist Espedito De Marino and the refined voice of Marta De Marino, offering American tunes and Italian classics. A visual backdrop featuring images and highlights from her remarkable film career will set the scene, transporting spectators through the key moments of Muti’s extensive body of work.

Known for her roles under the name Francesca Romana Rivelli, Muti began her acting career at just 14 years old. Over the years, she has collaborated with some of the most notable international directors, such as Ettore Scola, Woody Allen, and Carlo Verdone, earning numerous accolades, including the prestigious Targa d’Oro at the David di Donatello awards, several Grolle d’Oro, and accolades from the Venice Film Festival.

“Racconti di Cinema" captures not just the essence of Muti's storied career but also reflects on the broader themes of art and culture, making it what many are calling a must-see performance. "The performance is poised to offer Calabrian audiences emotions and entertainment," noted a spokesperson for CTM.

The scheduled event is also significant as it contributes to the cultural fiber of the Locride area, receiving support from the Cultural Department of the City of Locri, alongside co-funding sourced from the PAC 2014-2020 resources. Such initiatives represent efforts to promote cultural events and support local development through the arts.

For those interested, the performance will commence at 21:00 at the Auditorium Palazzo della Cultura, and recommendations for booking and attendance can be found on the official channels of the Centro Teatrale Meridionale. This evening promises to be filled with exceptional performances and rich narratives, celebrating not only the art of cinema but also the illustrious career of one of its shining stars.
