Pianegonda marked the grand finale of the 20th edition of Cortinametraggio, Italy’s most prominent short film festival, reaffirming its strong connection with art, fashion, and the new generation of creatives.
For the third consecutive year, the brand proudly took on the role of Main Sponsor, bringing the light of its contemporary design to the heart of the festival and standing out as a key presence throughout the event.

The partnership between Pianegonda and Cortinametraggio stems from a deep shared vision: a commitment to supporting emerging talent, offering visibility and real opportunities for growth. In this context, Pianegonda continues to cultivate a dialogue with the world of art and culture, interpreting jewelry as a medium of expression and authentic connection.

Barbara Venturato, a rising star of Italian cinema, wore the new Tecum collection in her role as official festival ambassador, perfectly embodying the values of strength and connection at the heart of the brand. By her side, actor and voice artist Roberto Ciufoli – also wearing Pianegonda – hosted the festival evenings with style and wit.

Among the key guests of this edition were Paolo Genovese, Michela Giraud, Giuseppe Stasi and Giancarlo Fontana, Francesco Piras, Andrea Roncato, Pippo Mezzapesa, Eleonora Gaggero, Filippo Montalto, Stella Falchi, Mario Cordoba, Sara Ciocca, Leonardo Maltese, and many other leading figures of the Italian film scene.

Pianegonda’s creations were chosen and worn by actresses, guests, and personalities throughout the festival, confirming their status as style icons capable of reflecting the identity and creative energy of the event.

Closing the festival on Saturday, March 22, was the highly anticipated awards ceremony, where Beatrice Beleggia, co-owner of the brand, presented the prestigious Pianegonda Awards:

• Best Actor: Daniel Angelo Fornaro, for the film Phantom
