(ANSA) - ROME, JUL 24 - A Lioness with classic lines to celebrate 90 years of the Venice Film Festival (August 31 - September 10): it is the image of the official poster signed, for the fifth year, by Lorenzo Mattotti, who is also author, for the fourth year, of the theme song of the festival.
It is "a Lioness that hovers high and hands us this anniversary, the 90th - explains Lorenzo Mattotti -. They are 90 years since the first edition of the Exhibition and for this reason we wanted the image to have classic lines, just as classic was the choice of the gold background. The gold color is also a reference to the posters of the early decades of the twentieth century. The Exhibition has always been classic, but also provocative. Here the Lion, a symbol of power and strength, has been transformed into a Lioness, which has elegance and creativity. After 90 years, the Lion of Venice, symbol of the exhibition, has now become a Lioness who flies through history with energy and lightness, a symbol of hope, far from aggression and ferocity ".
