The opening event will be attended by Paolo Genovese, currently one of the most important Italian directors. The Festival will also be an opportunity to review some of the historic movies and authors who have marked the history of Italian Cinema, thus offering a full immersion in the 20th-century Italian cinema which began in the 2016 edition of the festival.
