Film Festival in Locarno


Last weekend we did a long weekend trip with my girlfriend to the Ticino region of Switzerland, staying in Locarno. I wasn't aware that the Locarno Film Festival was starting this week, and part of this event was a preview showing of a movie on Sunday night open to the public.

The organizers decided to honor Bud Spencer, one of the classic Italian actors from the 70's in the action-comedy genre who passed away earlier this year. They featured Lo chiamavano Trinità, one of the best examples of the "Spaghetti Westerns". I really enjoyed this movie! It brought back nice memories, since the movies featuring the duo Bud Spencer / Terence Hill were one of my grandpa's favorites.
