Jealousy, Italian Style
Monica Vitti: La Modernista
June 6 - 19, 2025
In Ettore Scola’s modernistic, comic tale of three-way love, Monica Vitti stars as the fiancée to Marcello Mastroianni’s Communist construction worker, but their relationship becomes complicated with the introduction of Giancarlo Giannini’s hunky pizza chef.
Also known as The Pizza Triangle, Ettore Scola’s comic tale of three-way love injected a dose of irony and modernism to the commedia all’italiana tradition. Monica Vitti stars as the fiancée to Marcello Mastroianni’s Communist construction worker, but their relationship becomes complicated with the introduction of Giancarlo Giannini’s hunky pizza chef. Following an amorous kerfuffle, the three wind up moving in together—but can they manage to make their unusual arrangement work, or will it be bickering and dramatics till death do they part? Carlo Di Palma’s affectionate camera captures a different side of Vitti—here, she’s both a troublemaker and the pillar holding up the roof over Mastroianni and Giannini’s heads.
