In a feature article by correspondent Valerio Cappelli, Corriere della Sera underscores the significant impact of the Better World Fund, an event that recently took place in Venice during the International Film Festival. The BWF 2023 event also featured the city of Taormina, where Mayor Cateno De Luca received recognition. Now, Taormina aims to become the new home of the Better World Fund from 2024 onwards.
"As reported by Corriere della Sera," this was an international forum conceived by Manuel Collas de la Roche in collaboration with the captivating producer Valentina Castellani Quinn (her husband was Francesco Quinn, the son of the great Anthony Quinn, who passed away in 2011 at the age of 48 while playing with his children). The forum, which sought to shine a spotlight on humanitarian causes in art and cinema, dedicated space to 'The Power of Women in the World of Cinema,' announcing that the next edition will be held in Taormina.
'The film industry,' says de la Roche, 'offers positive role models that challenge traditional expectations and encourage women's empowerment. This helps create a more equal and inclusive society.' The proceeds from the gala evening will be donated to the Maria Callas Foundation, commemorating the centenary of the birth of the soprano 'who symbolizes the talent of a passionate woman and her hard work."
