About the Event
Il Testimone Invisibile (The Invisible Witness)
2018 Thriller
Run time: 1h 42m
Director: Stefano Mordini
Adriano Doria (Scamarcio), a successful young entrepreneur, wakes up in a hotel room that has been locked from the inside, and next to him is the dead body of his lover, the beguiling photographer Laura (Leone). He is accused of murder but pleads not guilty. In order to defend himself, he hires criminal defence lawyer Virginia Ferrara (Paiato), who is famous for never having lost a case. The emergence of a key witness and his imminent questioning, which could bring him down for good, force Adriano and his lawyer Ferrara to prepare his defence strategy and to find proof of his innocence in just three hours. Forced into a corner, Adriano will have to tell the whole truth.
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.
