Venice, Aug 27 (LaPresse) – "Cinema is an essential and indispensable part of Italian culture, expressing its genius to the world, transmitting and consolidating beauty, hope, and values. The contribution of cinema is particularly precious at this time in the life of the world, which often shows the need to regain cultural solidity and a sense of human solidarity. Best wishes to the Venice Film Festival," said President Sergio Mattarella in a message sent to the Venice Film Festival and read by the host of the opening evening, actress Emanuela Fanelli. "I would like to ask you to convey my best wishes to this Film Festival, which promises, as in the past, to be rich in proposals and initiatives, to all the artists participating, to the fascinating and complex world of production, to the organizers, and to the audience who always attend in large numbers," Mattarella added.
