The GLFC event, attended by President Cristina Bolla, was dedicated to the promotion of Liguria, the funding notice intended for audio-visual projects, Liguria’s locations and its artisan and eno-gastronomic products.
The event witnessed the presentation of a teaser for the television series “In viaggio con la figlia” (travels with my daughter) directed by Giorgio Molteni, produced by the Ligurian Artisan Confederation together with the Genova Liguria Film Commission with the support of the Ligurian Region. The director Giorgio Molteni, the screenwriter Raffaella Verga and the actors Cristiana Manzi Dell’Aira e Renzo Sinacori were all present.
