The 77th edition of the Venice International Film Festival will take place. Excellent news, after these months marked by the emergency, already capable of causing the first reflections on the real estate market in the city.
In fact, the race to buy house in Venice, one of the few places in the world where for ten days a year it will be possible to see the stars of world cinema parading and live exhibitions, screenings, events of international importance at the Lido. The event will attract fans of the big screen and onlookers from all over the world to the city, but also potential buyers who dream of making a valid real estate investment and sellers looking for an easy deal.
This year the date of September 2, the opening day of the 77th edition of the Festival, is even more important for the world of cinema and beyond, because it marks the restart of the city after the stop imposed by Covid on the many initiatives that populate the Laguna and the productions that normally take place in the city during the year, not least that of the new Mission: Impossible 7 by Tom Cruise.
