CONTINUING its commitment to the world of cinema, Gucci has extended its five-year partnership with Martin Scorsese's Film Foundation, having made a donation of $900,000 US dollars for the restoration of two Italian cinema classics: Il Gattopardo (1963) and La Dolce Vita (1960)."Gucci has a long history with film dating back to the late Forties, and we are proud to support the work of Martin Scorsese and The Film Foundation to keep these vibrant, timeless films alive. Through preservation, the legacy of visionary filmmakers like Luchino Visconti and Federico Fellini can continue to inspire us, as well as future generations," says Gucci creative director Frida Giannini of the longstanding partnership which, to date, has seen Gucci donate a total of $1.5 million to The Film Foundation in its restoration of six iconic film titles.
Scorsese adds: "Gucci deserves our deepest gratitude for its ongoing commitment to the restoration of works like Il Gattopardo and La Dolce Vita. Visconti and Fellini are filmmakers whose impact on cinema has been enormous, and both these films are as powerful today as when they were first released."
