Mark your calendars for a screening of the groundbreaking 1911 silent film “L’Inferno,” accompanied live on piano and double bass by two of Italy’s leading jazz musicians. The first full-length Italian feature film ever produced, “L’Inferno” was loosely adapted from the first canticle of Dante Alighieri’s Divine Comedy. RSVPing is optional but appreciated.
