To launch our celebration of Monica Vitti in style, members are invited to join us on Friday 19 September for a pre-screening cocktail hour. We'll be serving up the drink that was named after the actress, as well as delicious tiramisù, courtesty of our friends from Agrodolce in Fitzrovia. Their restaurant, like Vitti herself, originates in Rome, and aims to bring a slice of the capital city's gastronomic heritage to the heart of Central London.
Join us in the Atrium Bar from 19:30 for drinks & dessert, while the soulful voices of Mina, Adriano Celentano, and their contemporaries croon in the background. At 20:30 we'll head into the screen to continue our dive into Rome, with Michelangelo Antonioni's L'Eclisse, which features one of Vitti's most iconic performances.
Tickets are £18.50 each and available to members only, but you are welcome to book up to 2 and bring a friend along for the occasion. They include a complimentary alcoholic or non-alcoholic cocktail, a serving of tiramisù, and an unallocated seat for the film. If you have any access needs or require a specific seat in the screen, please email membership@thegardencinema.co.uk so we can do our best to accommodate. Unfortunately, we are unable to cater to dietary restrictions or offer alternatives for the tiramisù.
