The Terracotta dog Film & Discussion

The Italian Cultural Institute of Louisville invites you and family and friends to view an Italian movie, The Mystery of the Terra Cotta Dog, on Sunday, August 18 in the Chao Auditorium of the University of Louisville Library. The movie will have English sub-titles. It is 1 hour and 42 minutes long and will begin promptly at 4:00 p.m.. We hope that people who want to discuss the movie will join us afterward at nearby restaurant BoomBozz Craft Pizza and Tap House on Bardstown Road, right by Eastern Parkway. (No charge for the movie, but you are responsible for your food and drink at BoomBozz.)

The movie is an episode in the extremely popular television series Detective Montalbano, starring Luca Zingaretti, all of them based on the international best-selling mysteries of the Sicilian writer Andrea Camilleri. It has a plot within a plot. The case begins with the “capture” of an old Mafioso, whose dying words lead Montalbano to an illegal arms cache in a mountain cave, where he also discovers the remains of two young lovers, dead for fifty years and still embracing, watched over by a life-sized terra cotta dog. The full story of that is unforgettable.

Please RSVP by Monday, August 12. See you there!
