Pianegonda was this year’s main sponsor of Cortinametraggio, the annual Short Films Festival giving exposure to Italy’s most promising young talents and celebrating the most famous national actors, directors and screenplayers. This year’s 18th edition of the festival saw 26 short films in competion and over 40 talents among actors, industry professionals and the press attending the exclusive event, held in the prestigious ski location of Cortina D’Ampezzo.

Beatrice Beleggia, CEO of Pianegonda, had the honour of presenting the “Best Actor” and “Best Actress” awards, in partnership with Pianegonda jewelry. Italian actress Valentina Bellè and actor Vincenzo Nemolato received a personalised plaque and exclusive Pianegonda design jewelry in celebration of their outstanding performances.

Pianegonda was present on stage throughout the Awards ceremony, during photocalls and with special corners in the event’s main locations such as the famous Hotel De La Poste.

Pianegonda shares a deep affinity with the worlds of art, culture and creativity, always supporting young talents during important international initiatives and by creating unconventional jewelry aimed at allowing self-expression in the most unapologetic way. This year’s partnership with Cortinametraggio was particularly meaningful for Pianegonda, which is now closer than ever to the world of cinema and entertainment and served as a platform to support young creatives and emerging talents as well as to celebrate authentic icons of Italian cinema.
