From October 15th to the 23th will take place in Rome the International Film Festival of the City. This is a unique opportunity to enjoy the best of the international film production and to get the chance to see some of the greatest celebrities in the show business.

The main venue for the festival is the Auditorium Parco Della Musica, an impressive building designed by the famous Italian architect Renzo Piano, which is located a couple of minutes away from Hotel Des Artistes and Yes Hotel.

Many great films will be shown at the festival. Some of them are among the most interesting productions of the recent history of Italian cinema, like Marpiccolo and Fratelli d’Italia, films that portray the problems of the urban life in today’s Italy.

But there’s something also for those whose main interest is not artistic cinema. In fact, Richard Gere and George Clooney are expected to paralyze the city with their presence. At the moment mister Clooney is entertaining a relationship with a local beauty, Elisabetta Canalis which has brought him to the attention of the Italian tabloids.
