At GO, we will present Sara Sandro Sofia. Storie allo specchio delle stagioni (Armando Siciliano Editore) with the author Carmelo De Marco, publisher Armando Siciliano, Gabriele Becatti, and Francesco Zini.

The Book:

Sara, Sandro, and Sofia are the protagonists of three stories set in different times and places, all connected by recurring themes: love, betrayal, and rebirth. They speak directly to the reader in the first person, revealing—through the threads of their lives—the limits of a deeply rooted patriarchal culture.

In post-war Sicily, in 1954, Sara appears to be a woman ahead of her time. Of average education but unprepared for the harsh realities she witnesses, she gradually becomes more self-aware, breaking through societal prejudice with courage and determination—even, paradoxically, the prejudice coming from other women.

In 1980s Naples, Sandro represents the archetype of a man who doesn’t leave his family even when nothing binds him to it anymore, and his love for another woman fills the void in his life.

In Bologna in 2022, Sofia is a lost thirty-year-old woman still living with her parents. Disillusioned by her early experiences of love, she stumbles—giving in to sexual temptation—into an affair with a handsome but married man with two children.

The author delves deep into the female psyche, exploring its drives and feelings, even the most conflicted ones, while tying the narrative closely to key events of each era: the horrors of World War II, the birth of the Italian Republic, the terrorist attacks of the 1980s, and the 2022 elections that marked the rise of the right wing.

These are stories of love and betrayal that never fall into the illusion of friendship, placing women at the center—because from one century to the next, from north to south, the settings, technologies, and needs may change, but the patriarchal culture remains. The idea of the man-woman relationship as one of female submission to male possessiveness still prevails.

This novel boldly presses on a wound that won’t be healed by shouting into the silence of predictable tragedies, but rather by a culture that educates from childhood—at school and within families.
Going against the current, like the women in this book.

At Giunti Odeon, three great classics of American cinema from the 1970s will immerse you once again in the psychedelic and futuristic atmospheres of a decade that forever marked the imagination of cinema, music, visual culture and fashion.

In the Hall of Mirrors on the first floor, the exhibition PALEOLITHIC AVANT-GARDES. Visions from Giottolandia, the Lithic Art Gallery of Tuscia by Roberto Mari will be inaugurated.

"The 'pictures' displayed in this exhibition are macrophotographs of details of pebbles collected in some areas of central-southern Tuscany and upper Lazio.

When I discovered the first ones in 1988 I started calling them “giottoli” in honor of the painter Giotto these pebbles (in Italian “ciottoli”) that showed on their surface an incredible variety of designs and colors. Tens of thousands of images of "beautiful" stones are published on the web, from all over the world, from collectors to museums, but none of these specimens even come close to the chromatic-figurative richness of the giottoli, so up until now it would seem that in the entire planet these "painted" stones can only be found in this area corresponding roughly to ancient Tuscia. But perhaps it is even more curious that the only existing documentation of these very singular stones in the world is represented by my collection of about three thousand specimens. In many of these you can see "pictorial" details of remarkable beauty, of which the "visions" presented here should therefore be considered only a small example.

I have never sold any of the jewels that I have been lucky enough to find, because I believed that the great wealth of aesthetic results that they represent as a whole should not be lost and for this reason I have always thought of their public and museum destination. This exhibition is therefore for me above all the opportunity to publicly communicate my intention to donate my entire collection free of charge to public or private entities that undertake to permanently exhibit at least a part of it.

Roberto Mari

"Colorful like palettes, mysterious like ancient geological maps: the Giottoli are natural masterpieces that tell a long and fascinating story of the Earth. Discovered only in 1988 along the coasts and riverbeds of the Maremma region, these pebbles are named after Giotto, the great medieval painter, because of the richness and harmony of their colors. No brush ever touched them—they are artworks shaped by time, chemistry, and the shifting of Earth’s crust. 

What makes them so special?

A surprising geological origin
Born as fine-grained sedimentary rocks, they fractured during tectonic events and were later “healed” by nature, forming unique textures like natural mosaics.

A double natural transformation
First, a deep alteration caused by underground fluids and pressure. Then a second, more surface-level phase during their journey as pebbles transported by rivers and waves.

Rich and natural colors
From rusty reds to deep greens, their colors come from iron oxides, black manganese dendrites (like ink drawings), and bluish-purple hues caused by copper sulfates.

A natural artistic approach
Unlike other famous Tuscan stones like Pietra Paesina or Verde d’Arno, the Giottoli aren’t cut but gently polished by hand—letting the natural surface patterns tell their story.

[...]

Let yourself be captivated!

The Giottoli are more than just stones: they are stories you can touch. Observing them means reading the traces of vanished oceans, rising mountains, and the climate cycles that shaped our planet. An exhibition to rediscover the artistic soul of geology."

At Giunti Odeon the traditional Sunday appointment with all the great Disney and Pixar classics! To see and see again the great animated films that over many years have enchanted generations of viewers, young and old!

The films of two immense masters of the history of cinema offered at Giunti Odeon in splendid and extremely rare restored versions. We start with the 34 comedies interpreted and shot by Charlie Chaplin for the Keystone Company between 2 February and 7 December 1914. In less than twelve months Chaplin went from being an almost unknown vaudeville actor to a film star. He learnt to conceive, direct and edit his own films: just one year of whirlwind activity and a world taking shape, a character gradually taking possession of his own suit, a filmmaker conquering his place in front of and behind the camera. The Keystone comedies record, in real time, and with a dynamism, vitality and energy that are unrepeatable, the birth and evolution of one of the 20th century's most universal characters. It continues with three overwhelming masterpieces by Buster Keaton: ‘Cops’ (1922), ‘The High Sign’ (1921), ‘Neighbours’ (1921). 

Wes Anderson is one of the masters of contemporary cinema, beloved by audiences all over the world for his unmistakable style and poetics. Giunti Odeon dedicates a tribute to the great American director with a selection of his most famous films, all in original version with Italian subtitles.

A book that analyzes the concept of the "gang" in modern society, highlighting how it shapes young people, fosters conformity, loneliness, and violence, and reflects the dynamics of the digital world. Silvio Ciappi will present his book Il branco (Giunti Psicologia.io) in conversation with artist Tommaso Daliana, known as Tommy Dali.

The Book:

Welcome to the age of the pack. But what is the pack? And why does it speak to today’s youth? The pack is also the new dimension of contemporary society—a horizontal world that demands happiness and success, conformity, and compliance, where even violence and pain are turned into spectacle. The pack desires what others already desire and counts: likes, connections, achievements. It watches, types, and urges individuals to correct themselves, to adjust their image within the emptiness of the digital realm. The pack fuels loneliness and violent behavior, forming the foundation of senseless, cynical violence that erupts without apparent cause, often hiding behind the face of the good boy next door. It is the union of enraged and disillusioned beings who feel the weight of social failure, inadequacy, boredom, and shame. Is there a way out of all this?

The Author:

A criminologist, psychotherapist, and clinical and forensic psychopathologist, Silvio Ciappi is also a university professor and clinical supervisor. Recognized as one of the leading experts on violent crime, he has conducted forensic investigations on some of Italy’s most high-profile criminal cases. As a consultant to the European Commission, he was a member of the ministerial commission on crime victims and the parliamentary inquiry into the death of David Rossi, head of communications for Monte dei Paschi di Siena. He has authored books, interviews, and articles on psychopathology, criminology, and victimology, some of which have been internationally translated. For Giunti, he has published Odio. L’altra faccia del dolore (2023) and Predatori. Dahmer, Bilancia e altri serial killer (2023).

Beauty and the star-system, talent and fragility, the lights of the cinema and the shadows of life: Giunti Odeon pays tribute to one of the most extraordinary divas in the history of cinema, Marilyn Monroe, with three of her most famous and iconic films, authentic masterpieces directed by as many great directors. 

An 'other' look at America. Low budgets, little-known actors or stars who put themselves on the line, original stories, far from clichés and stereotypes, able to excite and make us reflect. At Giunti Odeon three cult films of American independent cinema made in recent years.
