Paola Cortellesi’s box-office champion (which earned 36 million euros at the Italian box office and attracted 650,000 viewers in France) - sold in 124 countries to date - has been named Best Film by the journalists belonging to Italy’s Foreign Press Association, who announced the winners of this 46th edition of the event on the evening of Wednesday 3 July in Villa Massimo, which is the seat of the German Academy in Rome. As with every year, a shortlist of over forty foreign correspondents hailing from all corners of the globe were entrusted with assessing the works, viewing dozens of recent Italian films, choosing the finalists and ultimately revealing the winners.
The second most significant Globe, for Best Director, was won by the other stand-out protagonist of this year’s awards season, Io capitano [+see also:
