Improvvisamente Natale

The chalet al Lago, at Lake Mosigo in San Vito di Cadore, is the protagonist of the cinepanettone "Improvvisamente a Natale".
On 4 July 2022, the shooting of the film Improvvisamente Natale, a Notorious Pictures production directed by Francesco Patierno, was concluded.
The Dolomites, and in particular San Vito di Cadore, were the protagonists, offering a stunning backdrop that welcomed the production during the five weeks of filming. A comedy that is sure to be a success, featuring big names in Italian cinema alongside a group of very young talents, the wait for its release will be until December 2022.
In the cast: Diego Abatantuono in the role of grandfather Lorenzo and together with him: Violante Placido, Lodo Guenzi, Anna Galiena, Antonio Catania, Sara Ciocca, Michele Foresta, Gloria Guida and Luca Vecchi, with the participation of Nino Frassica.

"The Veneto Region is one of my favourites," said Diego Abatantuono, star of the film, "I have made many films there, I like its tradition, culture, then S. Vito di Cadore, where we shot this film, is a beautiful place with enchanting nature. The people were very hospitable, they showed us cooperation from the first moment and that they were happy we were there, which is the ideal situation when shooting a film."

The film was made thanks to the contribution of the POC call - Programma Operativo Complementare al POR FESR 2014-2020 - Axis 3- of the Veneto Region and the support of the Veneto Film Commission. We would like to thank the "Cadore Dolomiti" Tourism Board, which took care of the reception and hospitality aspects for the cast and film crew, and the associated accommodation facilities.

Abstract:

 
For Chiara (10), every Christmas is an opportunity to see her beloved grandfather Lorenzo (Diego Abatantuono), owner of the delightful high mountain hotel that hosts the family's celebrations. This year, however, Chiara's parents, Alberta (Violante Placido) and Giacomo (Lodo Guenzi), have decided to drive up in the hot sun of the August bank holiday week for an unseasonal visit to Lorenzo, because they need him to tell Chiara the bitter news: they are separating. Maybe if he told her, the little one would suffer less....
Lorenzo, already in crisis because he risks having to sell his beloved hotel, accepts the thankless task of breaking the news to his granddaughter, but first he wants to give her one last happy Christmas... in August!
