From Malta to Italian Headlines: A Festival Story Like No Other

Maltese resident Rossella De Santis and her best friend Elda recently became the talk of Italy after their unexpected appearance on the Venice Film Festival red carpet.

The pair were travelling from Milan to Venice when they were robbed, with Elda losing her dress, jewellery and shoes in the incident. Despite the setback, the two decided not to miss the prestigious event.

Thinking quickly, Elda, who is also a painter and artist, turned to her creativity and transformed a simple hotel bed sheet into a striking outfit.

Her bold choice not only saved the evening but also captured the attention of Italian media. Outlets such as Il Fatto Quotidiano, Corriere della Sera, and Gazzetta di Modena all reported on the story, praising the duo’s resilience and Elda’s artistic ingenuity.
