The Taormina Film Fest is not only the most important movie event of the Italian summer, but also the Italy's oldest festival (began in 1955). It combines the beauty of the location (the Taormina's 2,300 year old Greco-Roman amphitheater) and the great Stars (it has been host to many legendary stars such as Robert De Niro, Meg Ryan, Russell Crowe, Sophia Loren) with the thickness of a program of international significance.
