“Giallo a Milano: made in Chinatown” has took part to over twenty festivals and also to the 2010 Shangai Expo.

The movie, inspired by a real incident happened in the '20s in a family residing in the countryside around Milan (Varedo), tells the story of a handicapped child, who is locked up in a poultry house and rises with the chickens, identifying its functions with those of the rooster. The film focuses on the psychiatric treatment of this man and the relationships he establishes with other patients at the psychiatric hospital.

Acclaimed storyteller Gioia Timpanelli presents her latest book, a novella of danger and survival in late nineteenth- century rural Sicily. After his best friend is killed by bandits, thirteen-year-old Joseph is kidnapped by the murderers. The gang's cook, a fierce woman of great practical wisdom and humanity, guides Joseph in the cycles of the seasons, the earth's gifts in a time of starvation, and the animal sense that enables one to anticipate the action of others. Her lessons ultimately help him to escape the grip of perpetual violence.
