Super-vip wedding for the general director of museums of the Ministry of Culture, Massimo Osanna, who on Saturday, September 3, will be civilly united with his partner, Roman entrepreneur Gianluca De Marchi: the ceremony will be held in Capri and will be celebrated by Oscar-winning director Paolo Sorrentino, who is a friend of De Marchi, who also has experience as an actor under his belt (he also had a small role in Ferzan Özpetek’s famous Mine vaganti ). Valeria Golino will be the best man, and several personalities from the world of fashion and entertainment are expected among the 200 guests, as reported by the Naples section of Repubblica and Fanpage: among them, fashion magnate François Pinault, his wife Salma Hayek, and others. Also present will be Culture Minister Dario Franceschini and archaeologist Gabriel Zuchtriegel, Osanna’s successor as director of the Pompeii Archaeological Park.
According to Repubblica, it will be a true wedding-event that will last three days: it will begin on Friday with a dinner that the two betrothed will give at one of the Marina Grande restaurants, after which another party will be held at a private residence on the island before the ceremony, and then on Sunday a farewell event at another private villa.
It is also a wedding that is causing controversy in the environment due to the fact that De Marchi is the owner of Urban Vision, a leading national company in the field of sponsored restorations of buildings, works of art, and monuments, known for its maxi-billboards on monuments. In the past, Pompeii Park and Urban Vision have collaborated to promote the image of the archaeological site: in Rome, for example, a maxi-billboard in Piazza di Madonna dei Monti, where a huge billboard with a detail of one of the frescoes of the House of the Golden Bracelet was hung in 2017. Subsequently, Urban Vision has supported several other Pompeii initiatives (for example, Pistoletto’s Third Paradise or the Pompeii@Mother exhibition). So will this union open up new and additional opportunities for Italian museums?
