Rome - The festival marries the Lido. Paolo Baratta, announces that all of the commercial area around the Palazzo del Cinema will be managed by the Biennale. And 'the novelty of this year, after the work to enlarge the building stopped, after excavation has been found in material that could be asbestos. Hence a renewed marriage to the Lido and the management of the areas around the halls. Passed the worst of the crisis years of the festival, this year the omens seem better, but still the big hole in the center and the consequent inconvenience to the public and festival-goers. (Service of Francesco Macri, July 2011).
