The Nuovo Cinema Italiano Film Festival at the College of Charleston was established in 2006. The recurring success of this annual event is based on growing public interest and sponsored by local Italian based companies with the support from the stellar restaurants and world class chefs that have made Charleston an unrivaled culinary destination.
The festival is the brainchild of Giovanna De Luca, a professor in the Italian Studies Program at the College of Charleston.
