Valentino Rossi:
I am delighted to be at la Mostra del Cinema di Venizia being myself a cinema fan. As a matter of fact, whenever I want to relax, I enjoy dvd, and even more when I am with friends. Lately, during the few spare time I have, I am watching cult movies from 70’ or 80’s. For the moment, I am concentrating on an important film, from the MotoGP championship, and this keeps me busy for the whole day.., This is also why I am so delighted to be here in Venice, with friends and celebrities from the cinema world. I thank Jaeger-LeCoultre, principal sponsor from La Mostra, and la Biennale to offer me a day into cinema, as it is so rare… Venice is such a particular city, and being gifted to see and visit during Mostra make her even more beautiful.
Claudio Angè – Director Jaeger-LeCoultre Italia
