Maurizio Nichetti in Pavia

Maurizio Nichetti, the Italian film director, screenwriter, and actor, brings his blend of mime and comedy to Pavia. Known for his silent comedy debut *Ratataplan* and *The Icicle Thief*, which won the Golden St. George at the 16th Moscow International Film Festival, Nichetti has built a career spanning film, television, and stage.

Attendees can expect an evening reflecting Nichetti's roots in mime, which he studied at the Piccolo Teatro, and his work that often mixes animation with live action. His films like *To Want to Fly* earned a David di Donatello for best screenplay.

This event offers a chance to see a figure who has served on juries at the Berlin and Cannes film festivals, and who was artistic director of the Trento Film Festival, in an intimate setting.
