Opening and closing ceremonies are presented by Italian actress Emanuela Fanelli while the coveted Leone d’Oro will go to director Werner Herzog and actress Kim Novak. With such prestigious honorees and captivating performances ahead, this year’s festival promises to be an unforgettable celebration of cinematic excellence.
