At Giunti Odeon the retrospective "Marilyn 100"

Giunti Odeon, in collaboration with the Cineteca di Bologna, is bringing four masterpieces starring Marilyn Monroe back to the big screen, one hundred years after the actress’s birth on June 1, 1926. Four collaborations with some of the most acclaimed directors in cinema history: from Howard Hawks’ musical comedy Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953), to her two brilliant performances directed by Billy Wilder in The Seven Year Itch (1955) and Some Like It Hot (1959), to John Huston, who, with The Misfits (1961) — written by Marilyn’s then-husband and the film’s screenwriter, Arthur Miller —revealed her talent as a dramatic actress to the world just before her untimely death.

The restaurant

Caffè Odeon, a place to nourish mind and body

Open daily: 11:30 AM - 12:00 AM

Caffè Odeon in Florence was born from the encounter with the Giunti publishing house, and from the project to give new life to the historic Odeon cinema, transforming it into a multifunctional cultural center.

The idea is simple and ambitious: to create a space open all day, like the great Mitteleuropean cafés, where you can enjoy dishes from different gastronomic traditions, a varied pastry selection, a carefully curated coffee service, as well as wines, cocktails and non-alcoholic beverages.

Eating, drinking a coffee or a good glass of wine have much in common with reading a book or watching a film: they are different ways of experiencing stories, through the senses. It is this connection that makes our dream a reality.
