Italian movie night at Italian Club in Ybor
We can meet at 6:30 PM for the buffet in the cantina (I assume they will have it this week). It's $10 for all you can eat, and they have a cash bar available.
Then we can see the flick upstairs - sounds like it'll be interesting.
Screening of FOCACCIA BLUES at Cinema italiano!
Friday, April 15 · 7:00pm
Italian Club of Tampa, Ybor City
1731 E 7th Avenue
Tampa, FL
The film "Focaccia Blues" (2009) directed by Nico Cirasola is the story of two bakers from Altamura (Apulia region) who put the local McDonald’s out of business by stealing away their customers, enticing them with the local version of fast food: delicious focaccia topped
with goodies like fresh tomatoes, meats, and cheeses.
Altamura is well known for its doughy delicacies. Road signs welcome visitors to ‘‘The City of Bread’’ upon entering the city limits. The film was awarded the distinction as Best Picture from the Association of Italian Film Critics. Based on a true story chronicled in a 2006
New York Times article "The Bread Is Famously Good, but It Killed McDonald’s," the tale of two bakers able to defeat a McDonald’s has become the stuff of legends.
Introduction and Q&A with USF Professor Patrizia La Trecchia.
Admission is free.
Espresso, dolci and popcorn will be available for purchase.
Come out and enjoy the show!
