Brussels – The Leopard, 8 1\/2, The Conspirators, Once Upon a Time in the West: <\/em><\/em>Once upon a time, there was Claudia Cardinale \u2014 the iconic face of a historic era of cinema, in which the Italian actress was always a leading presence. She passed away at the age of 87, after a long illness, and at the end of a life that had kept her in the limelight, not only in movies. In 1999, Claudia Cardinale<\/strong> was the protagonist of a campaign for European rules, valid for everyone and everywhere, in the new Europe of the new world, the one free of barriers and curtains, to protect artists and art. A European law on copyright, aimed at protecting intellectual property, was demanded through a petition (Artists Unite For Strong Copyright) presented in the European Parliament<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n

It was in Strasbourg that Cardinale, along with the other signatories, appeared before the EU institutions on 9 February 1999 to bring attention to an issue affecting an entire category: copyright. Currently, EU copyright law consists of 13 directives and two regulations<\/a>. However, at that moment in history, in the distant year of 1999, the European Copyright Union was still under construction<\/strong>. You have, at the level of legislation, a 1993 directive on “certain laws” on cable reproduction, and a 1996 directive on database protection – that’s it.<\/p>\n

It is this missing Europe that drives Cardinale and other actors to unite and anticipate in some respects the Citizens’ Initiative<\/a>, which will only be introduced in 2009 with the Lisbon Treaty<\/a>. The initiative at that time is not an end in itself, as she and other representatives hold a press conference to support greater copyright protection for artists.<\/span><\/span><\/span> <\/p>\n

Claudia Cardinale’s mobilisation probably plays a key role, given her “influence” as a diva: films with Luchino Visconti, Federico Fellini, roles with stars from Hollywood, of which she became a star herself, make Claudia Cardinale a world-famous figure. Her presence in the European Parliament puts the European institution at the centre of the world, and twelve-star politics on a whole new path.<\/strong><\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
