Two icons on the big screen: Fernet-Branca and Maria Callas in the new film "Maria" by Pablo Larraín
Fernet-Branca, the iconic bitter of Fratelli Branca Distillerie, debuts in Venice in the film "Maria," directed by the renowned Chilean director Pablo Larraín and premiering worldwide on August 29 at the prestigious Venice Film Festival.
The biopic, acclaimed and highly anticipated by the public, marks the return of actress Angelina Jolie to the big screen, playing the legendary soprano Maria Callas.
But what is the connection between Fernet-Branca and Maria Callas? According to some historical reconstructions, permeated by the myth of the Divine, Callas loved to enjoy a good glass of Branca bitter during her leisure moments, with friends and Onassis, both in Milan and during her tours, but especially before taking the stage.
The involvement of Fernet-Branca in the film "Maria" not only enriches the narrative but also underscores the cultural and historical influence of the Italian bitter, further consolidating its connection with our country, with the elegance and strength of tradition.
