The festival ran from 19 August - 4 September 1948.

"Andreotti" is Giulio Andreotti. Here's a photo of him at the festival (oddly enough with the next person to be mentioned in the shots list, Anna Magnani).....

"Zanuck's daughter" - her name is Darrilyn.

"Lagune" in final paragraph should read Laguna.

"Lea Padonvani", line 8 of final para, should read Lea Padovani.

"GW Pabst" is Georg Wilhelm Pabst, (which is how he seems to be credited in his films).

"Andreottie" in final paragraph should read Andreotti.
