What does the festival mean to you? And can you take us back to your very first experience on the Lido?

My relationship with Venice Film Festival is a sort of love story in three stages.

The first stage is when I was a student in the 70s.

So you can imagine it was a great opportunity to watch movies, new movies.

And Venice and Pesaro, the Mostra del Nuovo Cinema, they were the mandatory dates for us at the time.

It's a story with cheap hotels.

Long discussion on the border of the sea.

What has been occupying your research lately?
