In 1963. Luchino Visconti got the "Palme d’Or" for his film "Il Gattopardo" ("The Leopard") at the Cannes Film Festival. Present at Cannes were Visconti, the actors Burt Lancaster and Claudia Cardinale and even a leopard, but a young and friendly one. Cannes 1956.

A young leopard, the living symbol for Luchino Visconti’s “Il Gattopardo,” causes a media frenzy on the beach at the 1963 Cannes Film Festival. A dense wall of photographers, armed with vintage cameras, surrounds the animal during the publicity event. Director Visconti and the film’s stars, Burt Lancaster and Claudia Cardinale, were present at the festival, where their epic drama would be awarded the prestigious Palme d'Or.
