Maura Delpero’s second feature “Vermiglio, the Mountain Bride” – which is being presented at the Venice Production Bridge, the industry program of the Venice Film Festival, this week – has tapped Giuseppe De Domenico as its lead.
The Italian actor, known for “Zero Zero Zero” and Prime Video’s “Bang Bang Baby,” will play Pietro, a young soldier who in 1944 arrives in a small mountain village in Trentino, northern Italy.

Martinet’s retirement comes months after the release of The Super Mario Bros. Movie, which grossed over $1 billion at the box office. In the film, Mario was voiced by Chris Pratt in place of Martinet. Despite this, Martinet plays two roles in the movie: the father of Mario and Luigi and Giuseppe, a Brooklyn man who appears at the beginning of the film.
