(ANSA) - ROME, MAY 4 - Paolo Sorrentino's E' Stata la Mano di
Dio (The Hand of God) triumphed at the 67th David di Donatello
Italian cinema awards on Tuesday, winning five gongs, including
best film and best direction.
Sorrentino's movie, which was nominated for the best
international film prize at this year's Oscars, is a bittersweet
semi-autobiographical coming-of-age tale in Argentine soccer
legend Diego Maradona's Naples.
Gabriele Mainetti's Freaks Out did even better in terms of
numbers, winning six awards.
The best lead actor prize went to Silvio Orlando for his
performance in 'Ariaferma', while Swamy Rotolo prevailed in the
best lead actress category for her role in 'A Chiara'. (ANSA).
