The most popular cultural event of last summer was the Open-Air Italian Film Festival in Little Italy, where Baltimoreans were invited to pull up their lawn chairs each Friday evening at the corner of High and Stiles streets and enjoy Italian or Italian-themed films in cool outdoor comfort.
The tradition continues this year with an expanded program. The festival will now stretch into 18 weeks, and Senator Theater owner Tom Kiefaber has done some inspired reconnoitering to find rarely seen classics, such as last Friday's program of early short films by Martin Scorsese.
