THE ITALIAN CULTURAL INSTITUTE OF CHICAGO\u00a0ANNOUNCES THE U.S. TOUR OF \u201cTIGRE REALE\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The film concert with a live performance of Italian musicians Stefano Maccagno and Furio Di Castri will be on tour in seven U.S. cities, from the Midwest to the South.<\/em><\/p>\n

The Italian Cultural Institute of Chicago<\/strong> is pleased to announce the U.S. tour of Tigre Reale, an original film concert featuring the live musical performance of Stefano Maccagno<\/strong> (piano) and Furio Di Castri<\/strong> (double bass). The program is supported by the Museo Nazionale del Cinema of Turin.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tigre Reale<\/em>, a silent film made by Giovanni Pastrone in 1916, is a poem about the power of love and the destructiveness of memory, the clich\u00e9 of the femme fatale and the obsession with guilt. Over the troubled love story between the Russian countess Natka and the young diplomat Giorgio La Ferlita, weighs the tragic past of the woman. In the sweetened and rarefied world of a fictional aristocracy, unattainable Dannunzian characters are driven by extreme passions. The film becomes a luxurious stage for the divine Pina Menichelli, who offers here a symbolic interpretation of the excessive and artificial acting that marks and distinguishes some of Italy\u2019s silent cinema.<\/p>\n

The music score harmoniously combines jazz and a classical inspired musical language<\/strong> offering the audience a musical experience distant but at the same time perfectly matching the film\u2019s flow. Stefano Maccagno\u2019s piano echoes late romantic and impressionistic influences in combination with an always balanced contemporary touch emphasizing the film\u2019s dramatic tension. Furio Di Castri jazz scores wonderfully match all interior sequences while his solo improvisations give the filmic narration an intriguing atmosphere.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter the success of Inferno 1911, we are pleased to invite once again Maestro Stefano Maccagno and jazz musician Furio Di Castri to the U.S. for another exciting original project promoted by the Istituto\u201d – says Luca Di Vito, Director of the Italian Cultural Institute.<\/strong> \u201cThe new film concert Tigre Reale will tour in seven cities in our jurisdiction, covering six States in our jurisdiction from the Midwest to the South. We are very proud to be able to bring such culturally relevant initiatives to our communities in Chicago and beyond, also thanks to important collaboration with local institutions.\u201d<\/p>\n

The restoration of Tigre Reale was carried out by Museo Nazionale del Cinema of Turin<\/strong> in 1993 starting from a tinted and toned nitrate print, donated by Giovanni Pastrone to Maria Adriana Prolo in 1959. The restoration was carried out by l\u2019Immagine Ritrovata Laboratory in 1993. The 4K digitization of the restored version was carried out by the Museo Nazionale del Cinema of Turin at L\u2019Immagine Ritrovata Laboratory in Bologna in 2018. The musical accompaniment for this edition was composed and performed by Maestro Stefano Maccagno.<\/p>\n
