Pilar Fogliati Says She Feels Old at 30 During Rome Festival Screening

Italian actress Pilar Fogliati told reporters at the Rome Festival on Saturday that she finds it “strange to feel old at thirty” while promoting the screening of “Il Profilo dell’Altra,” a film directed by Bruno Bruni.

Fogliati made the comment during a press conference held at the festival’s main venue, where she also discussed her role in the drama. The actress said the sensation of aging early stems from the pressures of the entertainment industry and personal expectations.

Bruno Bruni, the film’s director, responded to questions about the production by stating, “I hate the premade formula” and emphasizing his desire to avoid conventional storytelling methods. Bruni added that the film explores themes of identity and perception, which align with Fogliati’s remarks about feeling prematurely aged.
