    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.

    Tecla Insolia won best actress for her starring role in Nicolangelo Gelormini’s Sicilian period drama L’arte della gioia (The Art of Joy). Francesco Di Leva took best supporting actor for Francesco Costabile’s thriller. The David for best debut feature went to Margherita Vicario for Gloria!, a period drama about an all-female orchestra at a Church-run establishment in early-1800s Italy.

    Timothée Chalamet added some Hollywood glam to the awards, attending the ceremony to receive an honorary David for “cinematic excellence.” The lifetime achievement honor went to writer-director Pupi Avati (Giovanna’s Father, Incanto). Oscar-winning director Giuseppe Tornatore (Cinema Paradiso) received a special 70th anniversary David award.

    In the best international film category, Sean Baker’s multi-Oscar winner Anora added a David to its trophy case.
