3:30pm - 5:30pm Hammond Hall | Ellis White Lecture HallAbout This Event
To mark the beginning of Italian-American Heritage Month, the Center for Italian Culture will screen the Italian action and adventure film, The First King: Birth of an Empire (Il primo re) (2019). This historical drama, which was directed by Matteo Rovere, presents the classic story of two brothers destined to found the greatest empire the world has ever seen – but only one can rule! This action-packed cinematic re-telling of the story of Romulus and Remus is set in the 8th century BC. All of the dialogue in the film is spoken in archaic Latin, an early form of the Latin language of ancient Rome. English subtitles will be provided.
The First King: Birth of an Empire (Il primo re) (2019) will screen on Wednesday, Oct. 1, at 3:30 p.m. in the Ellis White Lecture Hall (Hammond Hall, Rm. G-01). Admission is free and open to the public.
