Pictures of Sophia Loren at the Venice Film Festival in 1958

The Venice Film Festival or Venice International Film Festival is the world’s oldest film festival and one of the “Big Three” film festivals, alongside the Cannes Film Festival and the Berlin International Film Festival. The Big Three are internationally acclaimed for giving creators the artistic freedom to express themselves through film. In 1951, FIAPF formally accredited the festival.


Founded in Venice, Italy in August 1932, the festival is part of the Venice Biennale, one of the world’s oldest exhibitions of art, created by the Venice City Council on 19 April 1893. The range of work at the Venice Biennale now covers Italian and international art, architecture, dance, music, theatre, and cinema.

The festival is held in late August or early September on the island of the Lido in the Venice Lagoon. Screenings take place in the historic Palazzo del Cinema on the Lungomare Marconi. The festival continues to be one of the world's most popular and fastest-growing.

These vintage photos captured a young and beautiful Sophia Loren at the 19th annual Venice International Film Festival which was held from 24 August to 7 September 1958.

  1. this is a fact that Venice International Film Festival is the world’s oldest film festival and one of the “Big three” film festivals, along with the Cannes Film festival and the Berlin Film Festival. All the claims that are provided to these festivals are perfectly elaborated. I am keen to know more about the Berlin Film Festival, however due to this pandemic since 2020 could not entertain the festival; I am eagerly waiting for the news dates of Berlin Film Festival 2021. Whenever I come to know about the new time for it, I will schedule my trip to Berlin accordingly.
