Venice, the Film Festival and the Code of Longevity: Inside The Longevity Code Gala

On 5 September, in the middle of the Venice Film Festival, the Ausonia Hungaria Hotel on the Lido hosted The Longevity Code Gala Dinner. The evening was built around an ambitious theme: "Decoding the Future of Human Longevity". Prof. Elena Baranova was among the invited speakers.

A gala at the heart of the festival

Guests were welcomed from 6 PM on the hotel terrace, among palm trees and the soft light of late summer. The welcome aperitif featured an art exhibition by Giada Todesco and the first conversations between guests, speakers and partners.

Inside, the salons of the Ausonia Hungaria were dressed for the occasion: chandeliers, gold candlesticks, bouquets of blue hydrangeas and blue crystals scattered across white tablecloths, a nod to the Venetian lagoon.

Beyond aging

After a welcome address by Irina Biss, founder and host of the gala, and a first performance by the Wheelman Duo, the evening moved to its core with a panel discussion: "Beyond Aging: What Will Define the Future of Human Health". Beyond simply fighting aging, what will shape human health tomorrow?

The Vital Energy Award was then presented to David Labuschagne.

Prof. Elena Baranova's keynote

At 7:50 PM, Prof. Elena Baranova took the stage for her keynote on the future of human longevity.

Her talk was built around three ideas:

1. [Key idea 1]
2. [Key idea 2]
3. [Key idea 3]

[A closing sentence or a quote approved by Prof. Baranova.]

She was followed by Prof. Deby Vinski, Dr Valerio Solari and Dr Mirko Castellano, each bringing their own perspective on the new frontiers of longevity.

Music, dinner and a Venetian night

The evening continued with a performance by Mariateresa Amato, followed by the gala dinner. The Wheelman Duo returned to the stage before the Longevity Lottery draw and a dessert shared by guests, speakers and partners late into the night.
