Giampaolo Morelli, the well-known Neapolitan actor and director, received the Ischia Carlo Vanzina Award at the 22nd Ischia Film&Music Festival. This prestigious award, named in memory of the master of genre cinema Carlo Vanzina, celebrates Morelli’s extraordinary career. Vanzina was an early supporter of the festival, and this award is closely linked to his legacy. Recently, Morelli returned to Rai2 with Inspector Coliandro 8 and is currently working on his new film (with the working title ‘Love Fits All’). In addition, two comedies with his signature are on the horizon: ‘Love and Other Mental Masturbations’ (to be released on 17 October) and ‘Make It Spin 2’ (available on Prime Video from 23 August).
The Ischia Global Film & Music Festival, produced and founded by Pascal Vicedomini, and chaired by Jim Sheridan is made with the support of MiC’s DG Cinema and Audiovisual and the Campania Region. The Accademia Internazionale Arte Ischia and Siae, Riflessi-Made In Italy, Givova, Rainbow and Vulcano Buono promote the event.
