Directed by Giulio Base and starring Cristiana Capotondi, Margherita delle Stelle offers an intimate portrait of Margherita Hack, one of Italy’s most renowned astrophysicists and science communicators.
Inspired by the book Nove vite come i gatti, the film follows Hack’s journey from her unconventional childhood in Florence to her rise as a pioneering scientist, becoming the first woman to lead the Astronomical Observatory of Trieste.
More than a biographical film, Margherita delle Stelle is a story of curiosity, freedom, and determination, celebrating a woman who followed her passion for science and helped inspire generations to look at the stars.
🎬 The film will be screened in Italian with English subtitles.
🎟 Admission is free on a first-come, first-served basis until capacity is reached.
We look forward to welcoming you for an evening dedicated to cinema, science, and one of the most inspiring figures in contemporary Italian culture.
