President Sergio Mattarella will
skip the opening night of the Venice Film festival on August 29
as a sign of mourning for the Genoa bridge collapse that killed
43 and the Calabrian flash flood that killed 10, a presidential
statement said Wednesday.
Wishing the 75th Venice fest every success, Mattarella
reiterated the importance of the film sector for Italy and
confirmed his great appreciation for all those who work in it.
