Maura Delpero returned to her native region for her second feature film, choosing most of the locations between South Tyrol and Trentino as the backdrop for her film debuting at the 81st Venice Film Festival. VERMIGLIO is competing in Venice as the first South Tyrolean filmmaker for the Golden Lion.

VERMIGLIO is a production with Cinedora and Rai Cinema, in co-production with Charades Productions and Versus Production. Produced with the support of MiC – Direzione Generale Cinema e Audiovisivo with the support of Eurimages and contribution of Fondo di Coproduzione Italia-France, Provincia Autonoma di Bolzano-Alto Adige, Cultura Italiana, in collaboration with Trentino Film Commission and IDM Film Commission Südtirol.

During the preparation phase of the film South Tyrol Innovation Development Marketing Film Commission South Tyrol (IDM) supported the Bolzano-born director in scouting locations and facilitated the involvement of many South Tyrolean professionals in the crew, including Giuseppe Tedeschi as assistant director, Sara Pergher as assistant set designer and Daniel Defranceschi as location manager. IDM supports both Cinema and television projects with a total funding budget of 4.5 million euros a year.

Birgit Oberkofler, head of the IDM Film Commission South Tyrol commented “Maura Delpero is one of the most active and appreciated local talents in the industry.”
With the IDM, we have been supporting her work since the fund was activated in the region, and ‘Vermiglio’ is a clear example of what we are doing to support the audiovisual industry in South Tyrol. From Bolzano to Venice, our journey has supported history, but cinema is not only made up of images and creative talent, it also needs the primordial support of the territory through production support, dialogue with locations and virtuous synergy with local professionals and companies. Places and people with whom our Film Commission is in constant contact and who, over the years, have become a fundamental point of reference for productions that choose to shoot in South Tyrol”.
