David di Donatello Awards: Maura Delpero's War Drama ‘Vermiglio' Wins Best Film

Maura Delpero's Italian WW2 drama Vermiglio won best film at the 70th David Di Donatello awards, Italy's version of the Oscars, held at Rome's historic Cinecittà film studio on Wednesday night. Delpero also took best directing honors en route to a 7-trophy sweep. The film, which had its world premiere in competition at the Venice Film Festival last year, beat out the two award frontrunners, Paolo Sorrentino's Parthenope, a sumptuous, occasionally surreal tribute to his hometown of Naples, and Andrea Segre's The Great Ambition, a political biopic about Italian Communist Party leader Enrico Berlinguer, which lead the pack going into the David awards with 15 nominations each. Parthenope went away empty-handed, but The Great Ambition took two awards: Best actor for Elio Germano, who play Berlinguer, and best editing for Jacopo Quadri.
