Few film scores capture the magic of cinema like Ennio Morricone’s Cinema Paradiso. This beloved coming-of-age classic follows a filmmaker reflecting on his childhood in a small Sicilian town, his love of movies, and the mentor who shaped his passion (played by Philippe Noiret). Directed by Giuseppe Tornatore, the 1988 masterpiece won the Academy Award and Golden Globe for Best Foreign Language Film, along with the Grand Prix du Jury at Cannes. It is widely considered one of Italy’s greatest films and one of the most successful foreign language films of all time. Composed with his son Andrea, Morricone’s unforgettable score infuses the film with nostalgia and emotion.
Running time: 124 minutes
This film screening is a part of Maria Manetti Celebrates La Dolce Vita! honoring the legacy of Ennio Morricone.

Utilizing a grant from the Jarvis family, the Conservatory began operation in downtown Napa in 1995, providing training and support for artists. The 220-seat Conservatory, described as a jewel of a theater and an acoustic marvel, is dedicated to serious art forms not often available in other places, and at the same time, art forms relating to the large Hispanic community of Napa.
