«Being the godmother of the 80th edition of the Venice Film Festival is an immense honour and a great responsibility. I will work hard to live up to it». The godmother of this edition, Caterina Murino, is preparing for an important role. «I have always had Venice in my heart…all cities are unique, but none can match its immense beauty».
During these months, the actress is filming the movie “The Opera”, directed by Davide Livermore, with Vincent Cassel and Rossy De Palma. When she learned she was chosen as godmother in Venice, she wanted to thank the Biennale: «I sincerely thank Alberto Barbera and the Venice Biennale for this precious gift. In all these years, I have tried to represent Italy worldwide. I finally returned home to the most international and prestigious stage Italian culture possesses. I have ideas to submit to the artistic director of the Venice Film Festival to ensure that the role of godmother, not my person, leaves something different, even in the future».
