Robert De Niro to Attend 'Novecento' 50th Anniversary Screening

Robert De Niro is scheduled to arrive in Rome on Monday to introduce a restored version of Bernardo Bertolucci's 1976 historical epic, "Novecento." This event commemorates the film's 50th anniversary. The screening will feature the two-part version of the film, which boasts a notable cast.

"Novecento," also known as "1900," is an Italian historical drama that chronicles the lives of two childhood friends from different social classes in Italy during the first half of the 20th century. The film's extensive cast includes Gérard Depardieu, Burt Lancaster, Dominique Sanda, and Donald Sutherland, alongside De Niro. The original production was filmed in 1976.

The anniversary screening in Rome is expected to draw attention to the enduring legacy of both Bertolucci's directorial work and De Niro's significant contributions to cinema. The restoration of the film aims to preserve its visual and auditory integrity for contemporary audiences.
