The award will be awarded on 11 May as part of the awards ceremony live in prime time on RAI 1 conducted by Carlo Conti. “A stellar yet wise career, which starts from Città di Castello and our comedy, and allows itself to be enhanced by great authors such as Francis Ford Coppola and Giuseppe Tornatore, immediately becoming international, with the additional devotion of French cinema on its side ” , declares Piera Detassis, President and Artistic Director of the Academy of Italian Cinema. ” The David Speciale to Monica Bellucci – continues Detassis – recognizes her unique beauty but above all the ability to gamble and provocation, as in the case of Irréversible , alternating recognized directors with young novices or innovators and almost always choosing the impetus of the author, from Wachowskis to Virzì, from Sam Mendes to Maria Sole Tognazzi, from Terry Gilliam to Kusturica, from Claude Lelouch to Kaouther Ben Hania. Bellucci embodies the rare ability to be a global icon, without losing sight of the creative work and the artistic community. Charismatic, cosmopolitan and at the same time deeply Italian “. (HANDLE).
