‘Below The Clouds' Trailer: Gianfranco Rosi's Naples Documentary To Debut In Competition in Venice
After his exploration of life on the island of Lampedusa in Oscar-nominated and Berlin Golden Bear winning work Fire at Sea, and the outskirts of Rome in Venice winner Sacro GRA, Rosi trains his eye on Naples and life in the area between Mount Vesuvius and the Gulf of Naples, where the threat of seismic activity is ever present.

Venice Juries: Fernanda Torres & Mohammad Rasoulof Set For Main Competition Jury; Julia Ducournau & Charlotte Wells Named As Horizons & First Film Presidents
The synopsis reads: 'The ground shakes periodically and the fumaroles of the Phlegraean Fields taint the air. From the traces of history, memories of the subterranean world, and the concerns of the present, in black and white, a lesser-known Naples emerges and fills with voices, with lives.
'Below the clouds lies a territory crisscrossed by locals, worshippers, tourists, and archaeologists excavating a past that in museums will give new life and meaning to statues, fragments, and ruins. The train that rings Vesuvius makes its rounds as racehorses train along the shore. A teacher runs a makeshift afterschool for children and adolescents. Firemen in their command center calm the fears of the locals who call in, law enforcement tracks down tomb robbers, while in the port of Torre Annunziata, Syrian tankers unload Ukrainian grain. The land that skirts the gulf is a vast time machine.'
The documentary is by Rosi's Rome-based company 21Uno Film and Stemal Entertainment with Rai Cinema. International sales are handled by The Match Factory.

Heidi Klum Wears Nothing Except a Comforter in Steamy New Photo in Bed With Husband Tom Kaulitz
Heidi Klum showed off her bedhead in a new Instagram Story shared on Thursday. The supermodel cuddles up to her husband Tom Kaulitz in the intimate selfie. Klum, who's currently rocking a brand new set of full fringe, snapped a photo of herself in bed next to her partner of over five years, whose arm tattoo is clearly visible. Kaulitz, a German musician, and Klum began dating in 2018 before tying the knot a year later in Italy. On Wednesday, Klum and Kaulitz cheered on their home country's national women's soccer team. The former Victoria's Secret Angel made a fashion statement—even while sitting on the couch—in a sheer lace jumpsuit. Kaulitz, meanwhile, wore a bucket hat featuring the colors of Germany's flag. "Here we go 🇩🇪 @dfb_frauenteam," Klum wrote in the caption. "We're in ⚽️." After nearly a decade, Klum is reprising her role as host of Project Runway on July 31. "Just sitting here waiting for @projectrunway to start ✨⭐️✨😘," she captioned another new Instagram post. "9 more days 🥳❤️." Klum shared a behind-the-scenes snapshot from her promotional photoshoot for the show. She sported a nude Lever Couture gown that looked as if it were strung together by sheer ribbons. Featuring a sultry thigh-high slit, it also included an off-the-shoulder neckline and an asymmetrical skirt. Klum wore her blonde tresses in flowing waves, while her makeup consisted of sparkly eyeshadow, winged black eyeliner, and a peachy nude lip. Klum originally appeared on Project Runway from 2004 to 2017. The show was revived two years later, though Karlie Kloss replaced Klum as host. The upcoming 21st season, airing on Freeform, Hulu, and Disney+, also sees the return of judges Nina Garcia and Christian Siriano. Read the original article on InStyle

Giada De Laurentiis Doesn't Want to Judge Your Cooking
From the moment she wakes up, Giada De Laurentiis is thinking about numbers. The first thing she does is check reports on her four restaurants from the night before. Then she puts on a pedometer to track the 8,000 steps she aims to get that day. Despite initial concerns from her film producer grandfather Dino De Laurentiis, the four-time Emmy winner rose to fame as one of the most prominent faces on early-2000s Food Network. Her first show, 'Everyday Italian,' premiered in 2003. 'When I started at Food Network, chefs weren't stars,' she says. 'All of a sudden we became these icons that nobody could have predicted.'

This Idyllic New Hotel in the Hills of Florence Feels Like an Instant Classic
You'd also be remiss not to have an aperitivo—or, for that matter, a digestivo—in Bar Bertelli, the wood-paneled former headmaster's office that features a handful of charming nods to the building's former life, whether in the portraits of former head boys that line the gaps between the bookshelves and the ceiling, or the cocktails inspired by history textbooks they discovered in the renovation process. The Timoteo, for example, is inspired by the Greek classics, and blends tequila blanco with a cold-pressed cucumber cordial and a dash of yogurt to create a refreshing, tzatziki-like tonic—yes, it's a little odd, but it's also oddly delicious. Photo: Courtesy of Auberge Resorts Collection Photo: Courtesy of Auberge Resorts Collection And of course, making the most of all that outdoor space is the expansive, cabana-lined pool area—at 35 meters, it's the longest spot to take a splash in the city—which sits adjacent to Cafe Focolare, where the specialities are grilled fish and wood-fired pizzas with perfectly blistered crusts. Photo: Courtesy of Auberge Resorts Collection Given the resort-like feel of the property, it's easy to forget just how close you are to the city center, even if the ever-obliging concierge team will be happy to arrange tickets to any of the city's major sights. But for the more intrepid traveler—or those on a return visit to Florence, with the urge to do something a little more off-the-beaten-path than traipse through the Uffizi or queue outside the Accademia to see Michelangelo's David—there's a genuinely unique range of experiences the team here have curated to truly get under the skin of the city. On a balmy afternoon, we headed to Profumoir Firenze, tucked away on a cobblestoned street in the city's residential San Niccolò neighborhood: on an enormous antique table surrounded by bottles on apothecary-style shelves painted a deep, velvety blue, we set to work creating our own unique fragrances, which we decorated with our own labels and sealed up in plush boxes to unpack a month later, after our blends had settled. On another day, we trundled down to the busy streets just north of the Duomo to step through a discreet doorway and into the serene courtyard of Palazzo Pucci, the striking palace that has been owned by the Pucci family for centuries, and which served as the headquarters for the late Emilio Pucci's kaleidoscopic fashion empire; today, it's overseen by his daughter Laudomia, who will cheerily take you on a tour of her family's archives and art collections over prosecco and biscotti. And while the culinary offering within the four walls of the hotel is varied enough to keep you happily fed and watered for the entire stay, team Collegio took a special delight in recommending local's-favorite restaurants throughout the city for heaving platters of bistecca alla Fiorentina or freshly made pasta with wild boar ragú. The standout experience, however? A morning meditation session in the school's former chapel, where an opera singer performed a 'live sound bath' as dappled light fell through the postage stamp windows up in the rafters—if there's an activity as strangely transcendent as this on offer at any other hotel in Florence, I'd be surprised. Photo: Courtesy of Auberge Resorts Collection Photo: Courtesy of Auberge Resorts Collection Despite my post-opera meditation state of zen, my visit to the hotel just so happened to coincide with a particularly busy week in Florence, when the hotel had a glittering array of guests in residence. The first wave was there to attend a candlelit garden dinner hosted by the cult interiors Cabana; then, the following day, a phalanx of fashion editors arrived to take in the Gucci cruise show that was happening that week in the Italian fashion house's archives near Piazza Santo Spirito. (There might have been an official afterparty in the cloisters of the Santa Maria Novella church, but the after-afterparty was very much taking place in the corridors and suites of Collegio alla Querce.) I overheard a gaggle of American editors heading home in their sprinter vans chattering about the hotel's beauty and unlikely sense of tranquility, and their plans to spread the word among their friends in New York—so don't be surprised if you start seeing the hotel crop up on the Instagram feed of the most stylish people you follow.
