The Staples High School Italian Club has scheduled a showing of the 2002 Italian language film “Pinocchio” in the McManus Meeting Room of the Westport Public Library on Thursday, Dec. 8 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.
Titled, “Pinocchio e Panettone,” the event will also feature discussions by Italian Club members and a sampling of panettone, a traditional Italian sweet bread, said Enia Noonan, a Staples Italian teacher.
The 2002 film with English subtitles stars Roberto Benigni, who also directed it. Rated G, the film was one of the most expensive Italian movies ever made. The event is open to the public.
