Maura Delpero's intimate drama
Vermiglio was the big winner at this year's David di Donatello
cinema awards, scooping seven prizes, including best film and
best direction.
The film, which made the shortlist for the best international
feature film for the 2025 Academy Awards but failed to win a
nomination, is set at the end of World War II in an Alpine
village where the arrival of a soldier disrupts the relationship
between three sisters.
The best actress in a lead role prize at the 70th David di
Donatello awards, Italy's equivalent of the Oscars, went to
Tecla Insolia for her performance in Valeria Golino's L'Arte
della Gioia (Art of Joy).
The best lead actor gong went to Elio Germano for his portrayal
of late former Italian Communist Party leader Enrico Berlinguer
in Andrea Segre's The Great Ambition.
