(ANSA) - ROME, APR 26 - Italian actress and director Valeria Golino will be presenting her adaptation of Goliarda Sapienza's historical novel, The Art of Joy (L'arte della Gioia), at a special event at this year's Cannes Film Festival.
    The adaptation, starring Jasmine Trinca, Tecla Insolia and Valeria Bruni-Tedeschi, was originally shot as a TV series, but it is set to be screened at Italian cinemas.
    The first episode will be shown at Cannes 2024 between May 14 and 25.
    Golino, who is best known to international audiences for her roles in Rain Man and in the Hot Shots! franchise, has taken two of the films she directed to Cannes - Miele in 2013, and Euforia in 2018, both in the Un Certain Regard section.
    The story of a woman's pursuit of cultural, financial and sexual independence in early-20th-century Sicily, The Art of Joy was not published until after Sapienza's death in 1996. (ANSA).
