Venice, the city of love.. and stars

For the first time here on the blog, we're talking about The Venice Film Festival - founded in 1932 as the Esposizione d'Arte Cinematografica (Exhibition of Cinematographic Arts), which was a part of that year's Venice Biennale.

La Mostra Internazionale d'Arte Cinematografica della Biennale di Venezia (the name of the festival in Italian) is the world's oldest film festival and one of the "Big Five" film festivals, alongside the Cannes Film Festival in France, the Berlin International Film Festival in Germany, the Toronto International Film Festival in Canada and the Sundance Film Festival in the United States.

One of the most prestigious event of the Cinema industry that presents every year a selection of world-class films, bringing some of the most successful directors and actors of our time on the red carpet at Lido di Venezia, continuing the tradition that adds the glamour charm that always marked the Festival to a high artistic value program.

Before sharing 2020 memories, here are the most iconic moments from the Festival in the past years...
