Casa I Wonder opens a new chapter at the Venice Film Festival, reaffirming its role as a privileged space where cinematic visions meet the culture of Italian art de vivre. After bringing its distinctive voice to international stages such as the 2025 Sundance Film Festival and the Cannes Film Festival, the project arrives at the Lido with a new permanent venue during the festival on Lungomare Marconi: a modern and elegant villa designed as a place for hospitality, storytelling, and connection.
Inside the villa, private gatherings, conversations with filmmakers and industry professionals, and curated tastings by Chef Michele Casadei Massari from New York unfold throughout the days of the festival—offering a sensorial narrative of Italy’s rich cultural heritage.
In dialogue with institutions, entrepreneurs, and leading creative voices, Casa I Wonder confirms its identity as a platform for cultural diplomacy and territorial valorization—where Italy is told through its flavors, its stories, and its unique ability to make anyone feel at home.
