Puerto Vallarta, Jal.- The XV Puerto Vallarta’s International Film Festival presented the book “Italian Cinema’s One Hundred Recipes” last Wednesday, March 11 in the Mini Auditorium of La Costa University (CUCosta). Teresita Marmolejo, President of Puerto Vallarta’s Chamber of Commerce, was present at this event. Maria Sole Tognazzi, film director, presented the book in the name of its author Laura DelliColli.

Sole Tognazzi is an Italian Film Director, daughter of UIgo Tognazzi. Her mother is actress Franca Bettoia. She was the International Film Festival guest of honor. After launching the book, she made the presentation of her film ‘Viaggio Sola’ at the inaugural event.

Marmolejo introduced Maria Sole Tognazzi, enhancing her biography and qualities: She initiated her filming career as director assistant of the movie Crack in 1991. In 1997 she signed the contract to direct her short film Non Finiscequi. She moved on to film C’eroanch’io, in 1999 and Sempre a Tempo in 2000. She received her Golden Globe for C’eroanch’io. In 2003 she made her first long film, Passatoprossimo, with Paola Cortellesi, Claudio Santa Maria and Valentina Cervi; she got the Golden Globe on 2003 for the Best Opera Debut. On the same year she also got the Silver Ribbon as Best New Director.

“The reason why we are here is to talk about a beautiful book titled ‘Italian Cinema’s One Hundred Recipes’” said Sola Tognazzi. “When Laura DelliColli found out I was coming to Puerto Vallarta, she called me to ask if I would like to launch her book; I was thrilled with the idea, and that is the reason I am here today, to present her book; a book I have been familiar with for quite a long time” she continued.

This is a very interesting book. The author is a film newscaster who had the original idea of updating the contents of this book every year; her main purpose is to make a connection of a movie with gastronomy. In the book she narrates the most famous Italian movies – old and new- and explains the history and context of each movie, through recipes of the dishes that appear in that film.
