Alessio Della Valle

When Italian film director, painter, and inventor Alessio Della Valle (who was born and raised in Florence, Italy, and studied film in Los Angeles) had the idea of a thriller set in the world of art, he probably didn’t think that stars like Jeremy Piven, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Emile Hirsh and Paz Vega, and an Oscar-winning editor like Zach Staenberg (The Matrix) would immediately come on board. But they did because of the strength and originality of the script, and they are now supporting the US limited release of the film, American Night, a neo-noir action thriller set in the New York City contemporary art world.
