A spot on Italy during the Cannes Film Festival
The new generation of Italian actresses brings a new breath and renewal into the formatted world of Hollywood and its American Performers.
Monica Bellucci ,Born in 1964 in Citta di Castello, Italy, is the shiny and already world famous representative of this new wave: combining Temper, Seduction, Glamour, and Icon Women with Intelligence in the Actor Play. Bellucci originally pursued a career in the legal profession. and while attending the University of Perugia, she modeled on the side to earn money for school, and this led to her modelling then acting.
Monica belong to those actress who are devoting to her career with engagement and with no fear to damage her image, as did South African Oscar winner actress Charlize Theron in “Monster”.
She tries new routes, playing very different roles, giving a chance to unknown movie directors and defending the scripts she believes in. Whenever the Movie is a success or a failure, the actor’s performance is always remarkable . (Movies: Irresistible, Secret Agent, Asterix, Matrix, La passion du Christ, under suspicion, le pacte des loups…)
An other Italian actress, Caterina Murino is getting more and more attention from the profession.
32, born is Sardinia. Caterina has been long a theatre performer before starting a movie career (L'amour aux trousses, L'enquete Corse, Les Bronzées one of the most successful recent French comedies)
But a new Italian Star is rising, her Name Giovanna Mezzogiorno
Giovanna, 31, daughter of Italian stars of the 70s Vittori Mezzogiorno and Cecilia Saachi , is certainly one the most talented actress of her generation and similar to Monica driving high the women standards for the 21st century . She worked in Paris for two years at the Peter Brook Workshop (Le Centre International de Créations Théatrales) Awarded best actress of the Venice film festival in 2005, she give no compromise to women freedom. She loves her profession, , is not looking for easy seduction although she could pretend to. To have the opportunity to play characters that are multiples, she simply work hard and engages herself fully into it. I do believe that Giovanna is to show up on all our screens and covers more and more and for long.
Her filmography :The Bride's Journey" (1997). Les Miserables" (2000) with Gerard Depardieu and John Malkovich, "The Last Kiss" (for which she was nominated for her first Italian Academy Award, the David.) "Nobel" (2001), "Malefemmene" (2001) and "Entrusted" with Klaus Maria Brandauer. Her last movie, Facing Windows Is again a wonderfull performance.

Stroimontage President Artur Kirilenko said they would have completed the construction even earlier than 2008 if they would not faced a half-year delay from the town government, which decided to re-organize its general plan, but also a psychological reluctancy from some french decidors.
They are subcontracting the construction to Bateg ( Vinci Group) and using very innovative sales methods like late evenings opening hours at their sales offices. Competition is watching this new comer , with increasing interest ( and maybe fears !) :

On March 29th, a conference on Managing a Team from Home and Home working was organized by FRES ( see www.fres-asso.org )
Marie Anne Achin from Genesys
Jean Luc Lefevre from Duo Formation,
Ulf Avrin from Microsoft Lars Lindren from Venture Securities
Some of the key learnings from this conference are implied by the development of new technologies that permit to access to new modes of communications and managements. Bill Gates Statements about 80' being the decade of Quality, 90' of Engineering and 2000' of High Speed or Velocity are featuring the debates. Working at the speed of the Thinking is enabled with new equipments and organizations in a "global" world :Internet communication, emails, messengers systems, teleconferencing systems , skype , on line interactivity. In many cases the performance of a company is no more assessed by its core competences but its ability to act and respond faster than competitors , and new communications technology offer a shortcut for remote managers. Some studies by the
So, this being said what are the major challenges of managing a team from a remote place or from home ? At first the distance would not permit the same level or kind of authority than would be implemented in a proximity situation. To get to the goal it must be considered than the collaborators are themselves enforcing authority on their professional behaviours, meaning they must have a strong organization of their time, a communication and understanding skills and be result focussed. Something you must be capable to deeply train, as well as getting them to find satisfaction in the accomplishment of the given tasks, more than being the authoritative boss provides the good and bad points.
Remote management amplifies qualities and weaknesses, as such using it to resolve conflicts is extremely difficult. In this mode of relation , the anticipation of an emerging conflict is absolutely key .Once the conflict occurs it is almost impossible to cool it down and the face to face mode becomes mandatory.
Prior deploying a remote management, it is preferable to go through exercise building an efficient team spirit with the members of the team.
Distance perfectly suits to Rolling out a project , briefing and making reviews and the existing wiith new NTIC tools, but brainstorming, interactivity sessions, motivation, or negotiation better result via a face to face meeting.
In order to cope with the difficulty of the formalized distance meetings , it is recommended set up in parallel very systematic but informal conference calls, where the participants can freely exchange. The "on the phone" coffee break where self-censorship of a formal meeting can be sided out. To sum up, remote management is rapidly expending, it permits enhanced efficiency and speed, but it needs particular attention. Only knowledgable users, with experience and awareness of the threats of such management mode can fully benefit from it. Also it require a strong discipline and organization , it can never totally subsitute to the "one to one-face to face" relation.
