Calici di Cinema – Felline

The 11th edition of Calici di Cinema was held in Felline (Municipality of Alliste, province of Lecce) over two evening events, on September 5 and 12, 2025, in Piazza Castello. Conceived by Antonio Manzo and hosted by Vite Colta, the festival featured great Italian cinema classics paired with dinner and tastings of local organic wines.

The 2025 program celebrated two anniversaries: twenty-five years since the passing of Vittorio Gassman and one hundred and five years since the birth of Federico Fellini, rediscovering two masterpieces of the big screen in a convivial atmosphere under the Salento stars.

• September 5, 2025 — screening of Il sorpasso (1962) by Dino Risi, starring Vittorio Gassman and Jean-Louis Trintignant, on the twenty-fifth anniversary of Gassman's passing.
• September 12, 2025 — screening of La strada (1954) by Federico Fellini, starring Giulietta Masina and Anthony Quinn, for the 105th anniversary of the Rimini-born director's birth.

The evenings took place in Piazza Castello starting after sunset, preceded by dinner and organic wine tasting provided by Vite Colta.
