The magnificent 16th-century halls of the Aman Venice provided the perfect backdrop for a night where the carefully curated selection of actors, actresses, directors and creatives-true stars of the Festival and special friends of our magazine and the master jeweler-gathered. Among the distinguished guests chronicling this truly exceptional evening was Kamilla Verdiyeva.

In the heart of Venice, the 81st Venice Film Festival saw an intimate and exclusive dinner hosted by Vanity Fair and Chopard, attended by a highly selective ensemble of actors, actresses, directors, and creatives, all deeply connected to the world of cinema.

The event took place on August 30th on the fourth floor of the noble Aman Palace, offering breathtaking views of the Grand Canal.

The hosts warmly welcomed the guests: Simone Marchetti, European Editorial Director of Vanity Fair and Editor-in-Chief of Vanity Fair Italia, and Caroline Scheufele, Co-President and Artistic Director of Chopard. Among the first to arrive were actress Isabella Ferrari and her husband, director Renato De Maria; Patrizia Sandretto, founder and president of the Re Rebaudengo Foundation, accompanied by her husband, Agostino Re Rebaudengo.

Representing Azerbaijan at this prestigious event was Kamilla Verdiyeva, Vice President of the Azerbaijan Dance Association, influencer, and businesswoman, attending by invitation from Chopard's global office.

They were later joined by Pierfrancesco Favino, the lead actor in this year's Festival alongside Angelina Jolie in the biographical film about Maria Callas, and his wife, actress Anna Ferzetti. Following them were Giusy Buscemi and Valentina Cervi, part of the cast of the mini-series Leopardi.
