Caterina d'Amico, daughter of Suso Cecchi D'Amico, will discuss her mother's work at the Embassy of Italy.

In the history of cinema, Suso Cecchi d'Amico (1914 – 2010) remains the most memorable of all Italian screenwriters. Collaborating with the postwar directors Antonioni, De Sica, Monicelli, Rosi, and Visconti, among others, she was a master of the elegant screenplay and left her mark on many iconic classics, from Bicycle Thieves (1948) to The Leopard (1963).

She consulted with Hollywood as well, even adding her touch to Roman Holiday. Two films Cecchi d'Amico created for actress Anna Magnani and her friend Luchino Visconti's underappreciated masterwork Conversation Piece honor Suso Cecchi d'Amico on her one-hundredth birthday.

Films will be screened at the McEvoy Auditorium, National Portrait Gallery on October 4th and October 11th.
