Florence, 19 June 2020 – Who knows what he would say Ettore Scola if he knew that a selection of his films will be "screened" in a virtual cinema on the occasion of a tribute to his cinematography?
E’ “Saturday Scola”, the tribute organized on More Company, the virtual room of La Compagnia di Florence, that every Saturday, from tomorrow, 20 June to 25 July (ore 21), will accompany the viewer on a journey into Ettore Scola's cinema.
