Giunti Odeon offers 2 unmissable films dedicated to Dante Alighieri, in restored version. Inferno (1911), produced by Milano Films, the first adaptation of the Dante's Divine Comedy. Long available only in damaged, mutilated or censored copies, Inferno has been restored to its princeps edition, to the correct sequence of shots, to the fullness of its light and colours by a lengthy restoration work carried out by the Cineteca di Bologna. One hundred years later, the spectator finds himself once again enveloped in the horrific and marvellous vision of figurations inspired by Gustave Doré (and other illustrators), but as if revisited by a cruel Méliès: desolation of the moors pierced by open sepulchres, sudden flashes, the petrousness of the gorges, the acuteness of the dry brambles, damned crawling or proceeding decapitated mutilated disembowelled, the bizarre features of mythological creatures, the monstrous metamorphoses. Next is one of the first films made on the life of Dante Alighieri. Released more than a century ago (in 1922) Dante in his life and times was shot entirely in Florence and is one of the longest films (92') in the history of Italian silent cinema. In the film, Dante is at the centre of political plots and the love affair between Segna de' Calligai and Coronella, the latter a nun who is kidnapped from the convent. The abduction triggers a series of reactions in which Guelphs and Ghibellines are the protagonists. After Dante's death in Ravenna, where he had gone to avert war with the Venetians, his son finds, thanks to a night vision, the last part of the Divine Comedy, which had been lost.
At Giunti Odeon a selection of American classics from the 1980s! Colourful, crazy, experimental, joyful and dark at the same time: the films of that decade are the kaleidoscope of a renewed and euphoric society, but not without its shadows. Here then are the films of masters such as Robert Zemeckis, David Cronenberg, Terry Gilliam, Martin Scorsese and many other cult films to see and see again!
Giunti Odeon celebrates female cinema, proposing three cult films, one from yesterday and two from today, with women as the absolute protagonists. Tenacious and passionate, torn between difficult choices and passionate loves, those told in these two films are the women who stop at nothing and who are not afraid to face the pitfalls of life, without giving up their own identity.
Giunti Odeon pays tribute to the dark universe of Tim Burton, one of the creative geniuses of world cinema and one of the most versatile and fascinating artists of our time, thanks to his ability to shape a unique and unmistakable poetic universe. We celebrate the great American director and artist with a selection of his most famous films, all in original version with Italian subtitles.

The book:
Sky Miller thought that, after all the pain, she could finally breathe. That her wounds would heal, that love would conquer hate, and that the past could stay where it belonged. But when the fragile balance she fought to build begins to crumble, Sky finds herself back on the front lines. This time, however, the enemy isn’t just outside.
Trevor De Marco has learned to live with his demons. He has sought redemption, done everything he could to rebuild himself. But some mistakes can’t be erased, and some truths can no longer stay buried. Now that Sky is back in his life, every certainty he’s clung to starts to crack. The only way to survive may be to finally face everything he’s always run from.
What Sky and Trevor share is not just love—it’s a battle. Against the world, against others, against themselves. But they’re not alone. Along this journey through pain, forgiveness, and rage are Jake, Dean, Ivy, Angel, Tom, Evan, Chloe: the Raiders. A bond that goes beyond blood, beyond law, beyond reason.
As the past comes knocking and danger slips through the cracks, each of them will be forced to make a choice: stay or run. Fight or surrender. Lose everything or risk it all for those they love. Because true courage is not the absence of fear—it’s choosing to fight despite it. And when love returns, stronger than anger, it might not be the end at all, but the beginning of something that will change them forever.

The book:
Sofia Cortez has always dreamed of working as an investigative journalist in the newsroom of a major newspaper. The harsh reality, however, has her stuck at the desk of Hollywood and Beyond, a publication on the brink of collapse which, to avoid losing sponsors, asks her to cover what she hates most: gossip.
Hayden West—better known as “Wild Wild West”—is the king of gossip: every celebrity fears him, no secret is safe from him, and he always knows everything before anyone else. His tell-all book UnHollywood tops every bestseller list. Long-time rivals since their university days, Hayden and Sofia lead opposite yet parallel lives… until they find themselves chasing the same story. The cutthroat competition reignites at first glance, triggering a battle for the ultimate scoop.
Under the Hollywood spotlight, between exclusive parties and investigations skirting the edge of legality, Hayden and Sofia might discover that teaming up could be more useful than fighting—especially when the sparks between them threaten to set everything ablaze.
The author:
Felicia Kingsley is an Italian romance novelist. She works as an architect, a profession she balances with writing. She debuted with Matrimonio di convivenza (“Marriage of Convenience”), initially self-published and later republished by Newton Compton. The publisher has also released Stronze si nasce (2020), Una Cenerentola a Manhattan (2020), La verità è che non ti odio abbastanza (2021), Bugiarde si diventa (2021), Due cuori in affitto (2022), Non è un paese per single (2022), Ti aspetto a Central Park (2022), as well as the novellas Il mio regalo inaspettato (2022), Appuntamento in terrazzo (2022), Una ragazza d’altri tempi (2023), Una conquista fuori menù (2024), and Ex Files. Il diario delle tue disavventure amorose (2024).
She writes under a pseudonym: “Felicia is a name very similar to my real one, and it has always inspired me as a good omen, a wish for happiness. Kingsley is a surname I often used for my fictional characters when I wrote fanfiction in high school, and I kept it out of affection.”
