Actress Tea Falco talks Bertolucci and more at Giffoni FF

(ANSA) - Salerno, July 17 - Catania-born actress Tea Falco said Friday she has been shy since childhood.
    Speaking on the first day of the Giffoni Film Festival running through July 26, the actress told reporters "I got more shy as I got older, but I hide it better".
    The high point of the 29-year-old thespian's career so far was her nomination for a David di Donatello (Italy's Oscars) for best actress in a lead role for her performance in Bernardo Bertolucci's 2012 film Io e Te (Me and You), based on a novel by award-winning writer Niccolò Ammaniti. "Bertolucci is my spiritual father," she said. "As Pirandello said, we are the fruit of all the people we meet in our lives".
    Of the motto of this year's edition of the Giffoni fest, Carpe Diem, she said "Talking to people - that is the meaning of life. That's what being in the moment means to me".
