The smile of someone who has returned to a familiar place. Alessandro Borghi arrives at the 83rd Venice International Film Festival, and as always, it’s a great pleasure to see him again. Maybe he arrived a little early? No, no, absolutely not. Because while anticipation is building for tonight’s events—the opening ceremony, the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement award to George Clooney, and the screening of Danny Boyle’s *Ink*—excitement is also growing for another film. That film is *Nessun Dolore*, set to premiere at the festival tomorrow, September 3, 2026—Gianni Amelio’s project starring Valeria Golino, Valeria Mastandrea, and Borghi himself. He arrived on the iconic pier of the Hotel Excelsior Venice Lido alongside the renowned director. For the occasion, the Roman actor sported a pair of straight-leg jeans paired with a chocolate-colored silk shirt featuring light vertical stripes. On his face were his signature sunglasses, reflecting the glorious sunshine that greeted this first day of Venice 83.
