At Giunti Odeon the traditional Sunday appointment with the great Disney and Pixar classics! To see and see again the great animated films that over many years have enchanted generations of viewers, young and old!

At Christmas it's time for classics! At Giunti Odeon three cult films from the history of cinema that have marked the imagery and atmosphere of the Christmas holidays, for young and old. 

Giunti Odeon offers 2 unmissable films dedicated to Dante Alighieri, in restored version. Inferno (1911), produced by Milano Films, the first adaptation of the Dante's Divine Comedy. Long available only in damaged, mutilated or censored copies, Inferno has been restored to its princeps edition, to the correct sequence of shots, to the fullness of its light and colours by a lengthy restoration work carried out by the Cineteca di Bologna. One hundred years later, the spectator finds himself once again enveloped in the horrific and marvellous vision of figurations inspired by Gustave Doré (and other illustrators), but as if revisited by a cruel Méliès: desolation of the moors pierced by open sepulchres, sudden flashes, the petrousness of the gorges, the acuteness of the dry brambles, damned crawling or proceeding decapitated mutilated disembowelled, the bizarre features of mythological creatures, the monstrous metamorphoses. Next is one of the first films made on the life of Dante Alighieri. Released more than a century ago (in 1922) Dante in his life and times was shot entirely in Florence and is one of the longest films (92') in the history of Italian silent cinema. In the film, Dante is at the centre of political plots and the love affair between Segna de' Calligai and Coronella, the latter a nun who is kidnapped from the convent. The abduction triggers a series of reactions in which Guelphs and Ghibellines are the protagonists. After Dante's death in Ravenna, where he had gone to avert war with the Venetians, his son finds, thanks to a night vision, the last part of the Divine Comedy, which had been lost.

A documentary series venturing inside the cinema of one of the most beloved directors of all time: Woody Allen. An exciting journey into the films, background and creative process of an authentic icon of world cinema and culture.

Wes Anderson is one of the masters of contemporary cinema, beloved by audiences all over the world for his unmistakable style and poetics. Giunti Odeon dedicates a tribute to the great American director with a selection of his most famous films, all in original version with Italian subtitles.

The Australian who reinvented the musical and sentimental genre, conquering Hollywood. Giunti Odeon pays tribute to the visionary, colourful and pop talent of Baz Luhrmann, one of the most original and controversial directors of contemporary cinema, with two of his most famous films.

The Book

Figliachiara has a dream: becoming a ballerina. When she’s finally admitted to the exclusive Stars Academy, she's over the moon! But things aren’t quite as she imagined: the dance school has tons of rules, the classes are incredibly demanding, and some classmates seem more interested in sabotaging her than dancing together.
Between new friends, music-filled challenges, and rivalries tinged with envy, Chiara soon learns that shining on stage takes much more than talent: it requires courage, determination, and… a family ready to support you without hesitation! Luckily, Chiara knows she can always and forever count on Figliodiego, Mammagiulia, and Papàantonio.

The Authors

Mammagiulia and Figliachiara are Italian content creators, influencers, and authors. Together with Papàantonio and Figliodiego, they are one of the web’s most beloved families. Their content ranges from games and pranks to adventures. In 2022, they released their first book, La notte dei sogni (Nord-Sud).

1945-1975: this was the golden age of Italian cinema, full of masterpieces that left their mark on the entire history of film. From the ruins of war arose Neorealism, the “movement” that, with Rossellini, Visconti and De Sica-Zavattini, changed the way cinema was made and conceived forever. From the early 1950s, the revolutionary charge of Neorealism faded, becoming contaminated with popular genres such as comedy and other forms of popular cinema, passing through the golden 1960s with the affirmation of great auteur cinema (Fellini, Antonioni, Pasolini, etc.), “Italian-style comedy” and other genres (such as spaghetti westerns), until the anxieties, experiments and new sensibilities of the early 1970s. A long history in which Italian cinema reflects and reworks the enormous political, social, economic and cultural changes experienced by the country during those crucial three decades.
