(ANSA) - BERLINO, 18 FEB - The world of cinema, but also of institutions, culture, and art, gathered at the Italian Embassy in Berlin for the traditional evening organized on the occasion of the Berlinale. According to a note from the diplomatic headquarters, guests this year included Senator and Undersecretary of State for Culture Lucia Borgonzoni; Antonio Saccone, president of Cinecittà; Giorgio Carlo Brugnoni, general director of Cinema and Audiovisual at the MIC; and Roberto Stabile, head of special projects, General Directorate for Cinema at the MIC/Cinecittà.
