Venice Film Festival: Claudio Santamaria, Natalie Portman and the ladies from "Il pranzo di Ferragosto"

The hunt for shots of Natalie Portman at the Venice Film Festival took place, as the paparazzi always like a challenge.
While we got hold of a couple, it seems that she has an agreement for exclusive shots and so no red carpet parades were to be had.

We love the ones of Claudio Santamaria, who’s a really nice guy, joking and happy to pose for a few pics.

Along with him at the Lido, to present the third Italian film of the festival “La terra degli uomini rossi – Birdwatchers” was Chiara Caselli and the director Marco Bechis.

Oscar star Dante Ferretti, Gianni Di Gregorio and the lovely ladies from the film “Il pranzo di Ferragosto“, or “Ferragosto lunch” also posed for us.
The film is presented as part of the critics week, and will go head-to-head with Hayao Miyazaki’s animation which is currently at the top of the list both from critics and the public.
