Furthermore, as highlighted by artistic director Stefano Francia Di Celle, gatherings uniting audiences with film authors will be at the heart of the entire event. Famous faces will include Monica Bellucci - who will be awarded the Stella della Mole Prize – as well as Matilda De Angelis, Sergio Castellitto, Charlotte Gainsbourg and Mimmo Calopresti.
