Italian cultural events: Capalbio Film Festival premiere and musical fable in Brisighella

The film ‘La bambola’ (La Poupée), a romantic comedy directed by Sophie Beaulieu, will have its Italian premiere at the fifth Capalbio Film Festival on September 18, 2026. Starring Cécile de France and Vincent Macaigne, the story explores themes of women's roles in modern society through the contrast between a submissive character named Audrey and an independent woman named Patricia.

In Brisighella, the musical fable ‘Polimero, un burattino di plastica’ will be performed at the Arena Teatro Spada on September 6, 2026. Featuring Gene Gnocchi and the La Corelli Orchestra, the production offers an ecological reimagining of Pinocchio, where the protagonist seeks to become biodegradable rather than a real boy to address environmental issues like plastic pollution.
