Fendi the enter

Dear Diane, dear shaded viewers,

Fendi created a dream with a  majestic set and a
wonderful tribute to Cinema, and to Luchino Visconti.

Making dreams

Total view Fendi

'"I remember
as a little girl, film screenings were events in their own right. The cinema
would enter our house, we would set up a white screen and the whole event would
be met with a religious silence. We have worked alongside the greatest
directors of yesterday and today, from Luchino Visconti to Wes Anderson, from
Martin Scorsese to Giuseppe Tornatore, and we will continue to do so." said Silvia Venturini Fendi..

Piece,
