Join us for a special event that brings together Cycle Donga—an Italian novel by Bartolini, translated into Telugu by Srinivasa Chakravarthi and published by Anil Battula Publications in 2025—and the classic Italian film Bicycle Thieves (1948), directed by Vittorio De Sica.

Both stories follow a man’s search for his stolen bicycle, exploring themes of dignity, survival, and the everyday struggles of working-class life. This session offers a unique chance to experience the novel’s Telugu interpretation alongside the timeless film that inspired global cinema.
