Movies in the Parks: Screening of “Italo” (2014, 104 min) by Alessia Scarso
Tuesday, June 31 2018 | 7 pm musical performance | Film screening starts at dusk
Lincoln Park South Field House, 1650 N. Stockton Drive
Chicago IL
Presented by the Chicago Park District, in collaboration with the Italian Cultural Institute of Chicago.
Based on a true story, Italo vividly depicts the life-altering friendship between an extraordinary dog and a lonely child. Italo’s arrival at the small Sicilian town of Scicli causes a terrible uproar, as everyone is fiercely opposed to having stray dogs around. Everyone… except Meno, a precociously wise 10 year-old, who has shut everyone out ever since his mother passed away, including his workaholic father. It will take all the unconditional love a special dog like Italo can give to bring Meno out of his shell, leading him into a series of adventures that will teach him the difference between acting like a grown up and actually becoming one. Italian with subtitles.
A musical performance by La Tosca Italian Mambo Ensemble will begin at 7pm.
