Campari has been an Official Event Partner of the Locarno Film Festival since 2020. This commitment reflects Campari’s long-term support of the film industry. The partnership was expanded in 2022 with the introduction of the brand new Davide Campari Lounge, located next to the famous Piazza Grande, where visitors could enjoy a genuine Italian aperitivo.
The Lounge also hosted various festival events such as interviews with film delegations, panel discussions and industry meet & greets. At the Opening Night Award Ceremony, Aaron Taylor-Johnson received the Davide Campari Excellence Award, honoring the British actor and Golden Globe winner for his changeability and innovation. Later that evening Campari hosted the official Opening Party at the historic Villa San Quirico on the shores of Lago Maggiore. To honor the successful partnership, Camparino in Galleria created a unique cocktail to be served exclusively at the Locarno Film Festival: the Red Carpet - Locarno Edition.
“Home doesn’t always mean the place where our bodies are. Home is the place where our hearts are.”
