The Mayor of Rome, Italy, has denied he is planning to ban Hollywood stars from the city's forthcoming film festival.
Gianni Alemanno recently came under fire after it was rumoured he was bidding to block U.S. actors from attending the event and focus more on Italian movies.
But the politician has dismissed the reports in a letter to the country's U.S. ambassador: "Hospitality is one of Rome's sacred hallmarks and there is no way the city would fail in that calling."
The festival runs from 13-21 October (08) and usually attracts big name stars with recent attendees including Jake Gyllenhaal, Reese Witherspoon and Nicole Kidman. (LR/WNBIN/JC)
