17 November 2026 | Palazzo Cipolla On 17 November, Riflessi continues its journey through the theme of Peace, exploring it through new voices, perspectives and languages. This evening's guest will be Giancarlo De Cataldo, while August Sienna will accompany the conversation with their musical performance. The event will be hosted by Daniele Pitteri, joined by co-host Gioia Salvatori. Giancarlo De Cataldo (1956) is a former judge of the Court of Assizes in Rome, as well as a writer, screenwriter, playwright and librettist. His best-known book is Romanzo criminale (2002), which was adapted into a film and a television series, as well as the opera of the same name by Nicola Piovani. With Carlo Bonini he co-wrote Suburra (2013), which was also adapted into a film and a television series. He has twice won the David di Donatello award for Best Screenplay, for Michele Placido's Romanzo Criminale and Mario Martone's Noi credevamo. He has made documentaries on Sandro Pertini, on the attack on the Great Synagogue of Rome of 9 October 1982 and on the Priebke trial. He has presented the RAI programmes Cronache criminali (2022) and, with Giorgio Zanchini, Rebus (2024–25). His latest novel is Delitto in cornice (Einaudi Stile Libero), the seventh instalment in the series featuring the opera-loving public prosecutor Manrico Spinori. He is a contributor to la Repubblica. August Sienna were formed in Siena in the summer of 2023, born from the meeting of Ava Alami, Chiara Chistè and Donatella Montinaro. The trio weave together jazz and folk in a distinctive musical language, built on the interplay of three voices and on the individual musical experiences of its members. August Sienna are currently recording their first album of original songs, Heartroom, in collaboration with producer Ruggero Fornari.
