Al Pacino Joins Biopic "Maserati: The Brothers"
Yara Sameh
Oscar winner Al Pacino has joined the cast of the star-studded biographical drama "Maserati: The Brothers,".
Directed by Bobby Moresco, the biopic is follows the family behind the high-performance automobiles that, along with Ferrari and Lamborghini, Italy is known for.
In 'Maserati', Pacino will be making a cameo appearance as businessman Vincenzo Vaccaro, who supported the Maserati family and invested in the early days of the company.
The star-studded film also stars Anthony Hopkins, Andy Garcia, Jessica Abla, Michele Morrone, Salvatore Esposito, Gina La Piana, and Tatiana Luter.
Maserati was founded in 1914 in a garage in the central Italian city of Bologna by three brothers: Alfieri, Ettore and Ernesto.
The trident that is the company's emblem is a replica of the one found in the Fountain of Neptune in Bologna. From early on, the company –which is now known for exotic luxury cars — was tied to the world of auto racing. Maserati's first Grand Prix racing car, called 'Type 26,' is the vehicle that Alfieri Maserati was driving in the 1927 Messina Cup race when he had a near fatal crash.
Alfieri died a few years later, on March 3, 1932, at the age of 44 from complications related to that accident.
In 1937, the brothers, while remaining involved, sold a controlling stake in the company that is now owned by Fiat.
Iervolino ('Modì') is the lead producer on the biopic. Nicki Cortese and Wayne Marc Godfrey from Bright White Light ' The Beast' are co-financing and executive producing the project.
The second and final phase of filming of 'Maserati' will start in June in Rome.
The film is slated for a worldwide premiere in early Fall 2025, Iervolino said.

3 Dead in Stampede at Religious Festival in India
Israa Farhan At least three people lost their lives and several others were injured in a stampede during a religious festival in the eastern Indian state of Odisha, local media reported on Sunday. According to The Times of India, the tragic incident occurred near the Gundicha Temple in the city of Puri between 4 a.m. and 5 a.m. local time, during the early hours of the festival. The gathering had drawn large crowds, as thousands of devotees assembled for the annual celebrations. The Odisha state Law Minister has announced a high-level investigation into the circumstances surrounding the stampede. Authorities are working to identify the victims and provide medical assistance to the injured. The festival, one of the most significant religious events in the region, often attracts massive footfall, prompting concerns over crowd control and safety measures. Stampedes during large public gatherings remain a persistent challenge in India, where crowd management infrastructure often struggles to cope with the sheer volume of attendees. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean

Egyptian & Italian Artists Bridge Cultures in 'Tale of Two Cities'
Held between Italy and Egypt, 'Tale of Two Cities' unites 13 artists across disciplines to explore geography, poetry, and memory through contemporary art, design, and visual storytelling. Jun 29, 2025 From Milan to Alexandria, 'Tale of Two Cities' returns for a second edition with a lineup of 13 Egyptian and Italian artists and designers. Organised by Art D'Égypte by CulturVator, the exhibition spans two major venues—MA*GA Museum and Fumagalli Gallery in Italy—before heading to Alexandria later this year. With a focus on memory, geography, and artistic legacy, the exhibit weaves together the poetic and the contemporary through painting, photography, sculpture, and design, building on last year's 'Tale of Two Cities' exhibit between Alexandria and Athens, Greece. Here's a look at the artists shaping this East-West dialogue... Ahmed Farid (Egypt) A self-taught abstract painter whose work explores the chaos and vibrancy of urban life. Drawing on a background in marketing and social science, Farid's canvases are layered meditations on identity, conflict, and city life, positioning him as one of Egypt's most acclaimed contemporary abstractionists. Jamal Bassiouni (Egypt) Known for his multimedia works exploring Egyptian beliefs and colour theory, Bassiouni moves seamlessly between painting, sculpture, and installation. His practice often engages ancient symbolism through modern materials. Hassan Ragab (Egypt) An architect and generative artist whose studio practice fuses computational design, furniture, and visual art. Ragab's work engages technology, identity, and form, challenging visual expectations. Luca Boffi / Alberonero (Italy) An artist and farmer, Boffi creates large-scale public works rooted in visual perception, landscape, and ecology. His interdisciplinary practice blends art with community and environmental activism. Giacomo Cossio (Italy) A painter whose bold works reflect on the apocalyptic conditions of the present. Cossio's visual universe is built on symbolic gestures and charged landscapes, often invoking the human impulse to control nature. Clarulecis (Italy) A collective founded by Chiara Lecca, working between Romagna and Sardinia. Their creations combine natural elements with performance, sculpture, and design to revive a primal human-nature relationship. Luigi Pensa (Italy) Trained at Central Saint Martins, Pensa's design work spans furniture, ceramics, and fashion. His pieces reflect a fusion of digital and handmade processes, often layering cultural and religious iconography. Kahhal 1871 (Egypt) Kahhal 1871 is one of Egypt's oldest rug ateliers, now helmed by Mohamed El Kahhal, whose contemporary vision preserves traditional craft while reimagining handmade carpets for luxury interiors. Ahmad El Sherif / Cotta Design (Egypt) Founder of Cotta Design, El Sherif creates interiors that balance heritage and modernity. His projects, spanning Egypt and Saudi Arabia, fuse functionality with aesthetic storytelling. Gamal Meleka (Egypt) A Cairo-born artist whose early success in Italy helped shape a career grounded in scenography, painting, and cultural symbolism. His work bridges academic technique with emotive expression. Karim El Hayawan (Egypt) An interior architect and street photographer whose visual language captures Cairo's layered architecture and human character. His lens frames the city as a living organism. Marina Ballo Charmet (Italy) A major figure in Italian photography, Charmet's perceptual style explores the 'always seen'—the overlooked rhythms of daily life—often shot from a childlike or peripheral point of view. Stefano Cagol (Italy) Working across land art, video, and conceptual practice, Cagol investigates environmental and geopolitical themes. His work often explores borders, energy, and the tension between nature and culture.
