The event explored Italian puppetry as a set of material practices through which inanimate matter is brought to life, tracing its profound impact on the imagination across the arts. Pacchioni introduced the major traditions of Italian puppetry—burattini, Pulcinella, opera dei pupi, and marionettes—examining their material character and their migration into literature and cinema. At the center of the talk stood Pinocchio as a conceptual hinge: a figure born from Italian puppetry culture that achieved transnational circulation across media, illuminating how crafted animation operates not as mere illusion but as a enduring technology of wonder with far-reaching cultural resonance. https://www.federicopacchioni.com/news/peaks-progress-emgr7 monthly 0.5 2026-06-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69c6f40d80402c46cb3ceca5/c55c6f9b-ba6d-41dd-abd6-8670dbfeb77e/IMG_5878.jpeg News - Fellini: A Case Study in Myth-Making At Chapman University’s inaugural Day of Italian Research in the World, held in partnership with the Istituto Italiano di Cultura di Los Angeles and ISSNAF, the Italian Scientists and Scholars in North America Foundation, Federico Pacchioni delivered a talk titled “Fellini: A Case Study in Myth-Making.” Presented on April 20, 2026, as part of the broader Italian Research Day in the World initiative, the event explored Federico Fellini as both a filmmaker and a cultural monument, examining how an artist’s legacy is shaped not only by artistic achievement but also by the critical, institutional, and civic processes that transform a creative figure into a lasting symbol. Pacchioni showed how Fellini came to be memorialized not simply as a major director, but as an auteur whose name came to embody a distinctive vision of Italian national imagination, offering a broader reflection on how modern auteurs are fashioned, received, canonized, and commemorated as cultural monuments. https://www.federicopacchioni.com/news/reclaiming-a-pioneer-of-italian-cinema monthly 0.5 2026-04-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69c6f40d80402c46cb3ceca5/70b31b19-60b1-445d-99bf-6af3af2a0f63/IMG_5863.jpeg News - Reclaiming a Pioneer of Italian Cinema - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.federicopacchioni.com/news/behind-image-y78ga monthly 0.5 2026-04-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69c6f40d80402c46cb3ceca5/605fdfb0-ab89-42d0-9d6c-1048d67eca8d/512de421-3d03-4e2e-9c72-f694254cfe7f.jpg News - Italian Language & Culture: Building Bridges in California https://www.federicopacchioni.com/news/celebrating-emerging-italian-cinema-at-the-gallio-film-festival monthly 0.5 2026-04-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69c6f40d80402c46cb3ceca5/7c000d7f-7890-4851-a87b-4c0a7a5c713d/IMG_4358-1-1006x1024.jpeg News - Celebrating Emerging Italian Cinema at the Gallio Film Festival The Gallio Film Festival del Cinema Italiano Opere Prime, held each year in Gallio on the Asiago plateau, is a prestigious festival dedicated to debut feature films by emerging Italian directors.
