The Nuovo Cinema Italiano Film Festival at the College of Charleston has established itself over the last six years as an increasingly popular event of the academic year! Charleston is one of the most prominent cultural centers of the southern United States that shares a common bond with Italy. The Italian influence on the establishment of Charleston as a primary tourist destination is particularly important due to the establishment over thirty years ago of the Spoleto Festival USA – born from the concept of Giancarlo Menotti to celebrate the artistic excellence of two worlds in Italy and the US – as a cultural exchange between “due mondi”.
The Nuovo Cinema Italiano Film Festival at the College of Charleston is in its sixth edition. The recurring success of this annual event is based on growing public interest and sponsored by local Italian based companies with the support from the stellar restaurants and world class chefs that have made Charleston an unrivaled culinary destination.
