The Venice International Film Festival has always been an exciting time for the Cipriani, which for many years has been a haven for guests during this legendary event. Did you know? Venice is host to the second oldest film festival in the world, just after the Oscars. It first arrived over 90 years ago, in August 1932, as a non-competitive exhibition. Still to this day, guests arrive in Venice for the special occasion and the glittering atmosphere takes over the @belmondhotelcipriani. This year, the hotel continues to take centre stage as we celebrate cinema with spectacular friends at our island hideaway. #TheArtOfBelmond #VeniceFilmFestival #Venezia79
