About the Event
La Ragazza nella Nebbia (The girl in the Fog)
2017 Thriller
Run time: 127 min.
Director: Donato Carrisi
On her way to church in the hazy alpine village of Avechot, the quiet 15-year-old, Anna Lou, daughter of a religious couple, vanishes into thin air, never to return home. To aid in the investigation of this puzzling case the fastidious Detective Vogel is summoned, with his questionable methods; however, amidst a full-scale media storm and half-baked leads, no one is above suspicion, villagers and newcomers alike. But is Anna Lou's troubling disappearance a case of an adolescent tantrum only days before Christmas, or is there a wolf in sheep's clothing, hiding in the otherwise peaceful community?
In Italian with English subtitles. Suggested donation $5.
The Pirandello Institute has long been a dream of Vita Mesnick—a dream brought to life through love, patience, dedication, and an enduring passion for Italian language and culture. The Institute stands as the result of her years of commitment, effort, and inspiration, creating a vibrant community of students and friends united by a shared appreciation for learning and connection.
After many years of inspiring students through her teaching, Vita has decided the time has come to retire from the traditional classroom format. While she is stepping away from formal instruction, she remains deeply committed to the Pirandello Institute and the community she has helped build over the years.
To support that continued connection, we are pleased to introduce Conversations with Vita—an informal opportunity for students and friends of the Institute to spend time with her in a relaxed and flexible setting.
These one-on-one or small-group conversations can be arranged directly with Vita, free of charge, and may include speaking in Italian, discussing books and culture, reviewing aspects of the language, sharing memories, or exploring topics of mutual interest. Designed to foster conversation rather than formal instruction, these sessions preserve what has always been at the heart of the Pirandello experience: meaningful connection, lively discussion, and a shared love of Italian language and culture.
We are grateful for Vita's continued presence in our community and look forward to this new chapter—one that celebrates friendship, conversation, and the dream she has nurtured for so many years.
