The 18-year-old daughter of Italian actress and model Monica Bellucci and her French colleague Vincent Cassel, Deva Cassel, continues the path of her famous mother.
At first, the girl conquered the fashion catwalk and became the face of Dior fragrance, decorated several covers of the best fashion magazines in the world, and now she has set her sights on an acting career.
The maiden will star in the film "Beautiful Summer" by Italian director Laura Luchetti, reports Variety.
In the coming-of-age drama, based on the novel "La Bella Manor" by Italian writer Cesare Pavese, which won the prestigious Italian literary prize Premio Strega in 1950 and has been widely translated, she will play wild and provocative model Amelia.
She introduces her younger friend Ginia (Yile Yara Vianello) to the world of Bohemian artists, where she falls in love for the first time.
The action takes place during a beautiful summer in Turin in 1938 against the backdrop of Fascist Italy's subsequent entry into World War II.
The rights to the film adaptation of the novel were acquired by the Italian trading company True Colors.
"Beautiful Summer" is Luchetti's second feature film after "The Twin Flower" in 2018, which premiered in Toronto. The lead producer of Beautiful Summer is Giovanni Pompili, whose Rome-based production is behind the 2022 Berlin Golden Bear winner, "Alcaraz".
Monica Bellucci made her film debut much later than her daughter. At the age of 26, she first played in the Italian film "Life with Children" ("Adult Love") directed by Dino Risi, along with Giancarlo Giannini, Corinne Clary and Nicholas Fearon.
Then there were two leading roles in comedies: "Abuse" ("Lottery") directed by Francesco Laudadio and "Stubborn Fate", where Monica brilliantly played twin sisters Marina and Angela.
Today, her filmography includes about 70 films and the title of one of the most talented and beautiful actresses in the world.
