Co-written by the director with Federica Pontremoli (Habemus Papam [+see also:

"The film will deal with the biggest issues in life with the light tone of comedy", said Ozpetek.
The rich cast features Elio Germano, Margherita Buy, Vittoria Puccini, Beppe Fiorello, Andrea Bosca, Alessandro Roja, Paola Minaccioni, Cem Yilmaz, and the special participation of Anna Proclemer.
Magnifica presenza will be distributed by 01 Distribution in March 2012.
