She’s in Italy for a film festival, but Melissa George still found time to go sightseeing around the Veneto region on Wednesday.

The Australian actress, 43, looked cheerful as she went for a stroll around Burano, an island in the Venetian Lagoon, with two male friends.

She arrived on the island via taxi boat and kept a surgical face mask handy to help limit the spread of coronavirus, which has devastated Italy in recent months.
