AND officially started the countdown for the80th edition from the Venice Film Festival, the annual appointment in the lagoon with great directors, eagerly awaited films and unmissable glamour. From 30 August to 9 September, the 2023 Venice Film Festival will enliven the Lido with the look of the godmother – who this year will be Caterina Murino -, unpublished red carpets and author screenings. Although the strike of Hollywood actors and screenwriters could coincide with the absence of major American stars, the appeal of a red carpet that has always been synonymous with Alta Moda and Made in Italy remains unchanged, starting right from the outfits of the godmothers.
From Rocío Muñoz Morales to Anna Foglietta, via Serena Rossi and Alessandra Mastronardi, the godmother of the Venice Film Festival has always held pride of place. Even in terms of fashion.
Diving into the lagoon and a dreamy red carpet
Going over the names of who, over the years, has succeeded in the role of godmother of the Venice Film Festival means opening a window on the world of Italian cinema and TV. If last year the daunting task had been entrusted to Rocío Muñoz Moralesit was previously the turn of Serena Rossi, Anna Foglietta, Alessandra Mastronardi, Luisa Ranieri, Sonia Bergamasco and many others. Not only women, however: in 2017 and 2018 they were respectively Alessandro Borgo And Michael Riondino to play the role of landlords. From the traditional dip in the Lagoon to the awaited red carpet, up to the delivery of the most important awards, the Venice Film Festival would not be without its godmother.
High Fashion and Made in Italy
The keyword is shine, in the sign of tricolor fashion. From Giorgio Armanione of the most flaunted fashion houses in the Lagoon, ad Albert Ferrettipassing through Valentine, Gucci And Dolce & Gabbana, the Venetian event represents the ideal stage to give prestige to the work of Italian stylists. The godmothers of the Festival embody a contemporary femininity, told through princely silhouettes with trains, rhinestones and beads, or by essential and minimalist creations.

Venice Film Festival 2023, the godmother will be Caterina Murino
Note to the general public for Casino Royalebut also for The seed of discord, as well as for countless films and plays, the Sardinian actress already has very clear ideas about her role in Laguna. «variety wrote that with me the role of godmother in Venice becomes more international. Here, I hope to bring my knowledge of the sets to many countries. I have some ideas to submit to Alberto Barbera, the artistic director of the Exhibition, to ensure that the role of godmother, not my person, leave something different, even in the future».
From a stylistic point of view, Caterina Murino stands out for her sober yet singular elegance, punctuated by dresses with unusual cuts, unexpected patterns and total black that is anything but boring.
All that remains is to let yourself be enchanted by her outfits on the Lido.
