CAPRI, Jan 2, 2026 – The Los Angeles Italia – Film, Fashion and Art Festival, now in its 21st edition, once again confirmed its status as one of the most influential international cultural platforms fostering dialogue between Italy and the United States. Founded by Pascal Vicedomini and organized by the Capri in the World Institute, the festival continues its long-standing mission of promoting Italian excellence on the global stage.
The upcoming edition, scheduled to take place in Los Angeles from March 8 to 14, was officially announced in Capri by Riccardo Monti, Vice President of the Capri in the World Institute, during the 30th edition of Capri Hollywood.
“Los Angeles Italia has always been much more than a festival,” Monti stated from Capri. “It represents a strategic bridge between two cultures and two creative industries that share common values and a global vision. Announcing its 21st edition here in Capri, during the 30th anniversary of Capri Hollywood, underscored the continuity and strength of a project that has grown year after year, becoming a key reference point for cultural diplomacy between Italy and the United States.”
The festival was held with the support of the Italian Ministry of Culture and under the patronage of the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, confirming its strong institutional standing. A major partner of the event was Intesa Sanpaolo, which supported the festival’s mission to promote Italian creativity and talent abroad.
Significant contributions also came from the Consulate General of Italy in Los Angeles and the Italian Cultural Institute of Los Angeles, whose collaboration further strengthened the festival’s role as a cultural bridge between Rome and Hollywood.
By bringing together cinema, fashion and art, Los Angeles Italia once again proved to be a powerful instrument of international cultural diplomacy, offering Italian stories, visions and talents a privileged showcase in the heart of the global entertainment industry, while remaining faithful to the vision of Pascal Vicedomini and the enduring mission of the Capri in the World Institute.
