How does politics communicate? How much has it been contaminated by marketing? Political leaders or political influencers? These are some of the questions that Domenico Petrolo and Lorenzo Incantalupo raise in their book Chi mi ama mi voti (Guerini e Associati Publisher). On the stage of Go, they will talk about these themes in dialogue with Erika Pontini, chief editor of La Nazione.

The book:

How the first manifesto of Silvio Berlusconi was born, the arrival of Matteo Renzi, the digital revolution of Beppe Grillo and Gianroberto Casaleggio, the clash between Donald Trump and Nike are just some of the stories told through the testimony of those who experienced them firsthand. This volume investigates, through the sharp gaze of the authors and numerous interviews with prominent figures in the Italian and international political world, the role of marketing and political communication, the dynamics that politics has with itself and with its consumer-voters. How does politics communicate? How much has it been contaminated by marketing? Political leaders or political influencers? The reflections of Petrolo and Incantalupo accompany us, in a popular yet informative narrative, to seek answers through the voice and direct experience of the protagonists of the political scene of the last thirty years: from Oliviero Toscani to Antonio Palmieri, from Rocco Casalino to Filippo Sensi, from Luca De Gennaro to Nadia Oliviero, from Luigi Di Gregorio to Benedetta Frucci, from Raffaele Nevi to Chiara Geloni, from Francesco Nicodemo to Alessio De Giorgi and many others. The dialogue with Giovanni Grasso tells us about the communication of the Quirinale and the President of the Republic. A special chapter is dedicated to communication in times of war through the dialogue with Mykhailo Podolyak, special advisor to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelens’Kyi. Two months before the elections, an excellent text to better understand the dynamics of politics.

One hundred years ago, in 1923, Walt and Roy Disney began an adventure that would change the history of cinema forever. Since then, the films made by Disney have enchanted several generations, amazing us each time with their timeless and ageless stories. Today, a century later, Giunti Odeon celebrates this great dream factory by proposing a selection of great Disney classics, with the most famous films, suitable for young and old, to be enjoyed all together and continue to dream... 

At Giunti Odeon, for the first time in a restored version, the complete selection of the 34 comedies performed and filmed by Charlie Chaplin for the Keystone Company between 2 February and 7 December 1914. In less than twelve months Chaplin went from being an almost unknown vaudeville actor to a film star. He learnt to conceive, direct and edit his own films: just one year of whirlwind activity and a world taking shape, a character gradually taking possession of his own suit, a filmmaker conquering his place in front of and behind the camera. Keystone Comics records, in real time, and with a dynamism, vitality and energy that is unrepeatable, the birth and evolution of one of the 20th century's most universal characters. It took seven years of research in archives all over the world to recover the best existing materials and to enable the restoration of the entire Keystone comic corpus. An international project launched in 2003 by the Cineteca di Bologna, the British Film Institute and Lobster Films in collaboration with the Association Chaplin now makes it possible to see them again in the best conditions and with new musical accompaniments.

At Giunti Odeon, a special event organized by La città dei lettori: James Ellroy, a giant of contemporary literature and master of noir, will present his new book The Enchanters (Einaudi), accompanied by Gianni Santucci from Corriere della Sera and translator Simona Caldera.

The book:

In Los Angeles, on a sultry night, Marilyn Monroe dies of an overdose and loneliness. On the same day, the police free a kidnapped starlet. There's a connection between the two stories, or so thinks a corrupt detective with a passion for drugs and the art of blackmail.

When it comes to delving into the murky depths, the right person to call is Freddy Otash. He spied on Marilyn on behalf of Jimmy Hoffa, the controversial leader of the truckers' union, and now the police have tasked him with investigating her death. It's a delicate matter because very powerful people, even in Washington, could be involved in the disappearance of the world's most famous actress. For some obscure reason, perhaps related to love, Freddy decides to go all the way. Even if it means shattering an icon, even if it turns the dream of the city of angels into a nightmare.

Giunti Odeon celebrates female cinema, proposing two cult films, one from the past and one from the present, with women as the absolute protagonists. Tenacious and passionate, torn between difficult choices and passionate loves, those told in these two films are the women who stop at nothing and who are not afraid to face the pitfalls of life, without giving up their own identity.
