Franca, 36) IL PRANZO DI BABETTE Reading con Lella Costa Lella Costa, una delle artiste più sensibili del teatro italiano, si confronta con Il pranzo di Babette, l’incantevole racconto di Karen Blixen, reso famoso dall’omonimo film (premio Oscar 1988) di Gabriel Axel, appassionata celebrazione dell’arte culinaria.
