- The Last One For The Road leads the nominations for the 71st David di Donatello awards with 16 categories, the most among all films.
- The Last One For The Road premiered at Cannes Un Certain Regard in 2025 and subsequently screened at festivals in New York, Munich and Thessaloniki.
- La Grazia secured 14 nominations, making it the second‑most nominated film.
- The Tasters received 13 nominations, placing it third.
- Buen Camino—a record‑breaking box‑office comedy starring Checco Zalone—earned only a single nomination for Best Original Song.
- Cinecittà in Rome hosted the announcement of the nominations on Thursday and will also host the ceremony on May 6.
- Francesco Sossai directed The Last One For The Road, starring Sergio Romano, Pierpaolo Capovilla and Filippo Scotti.
Why it matters: The film’s sweep of 16 nominations cements its critical acclaim and positions it for heightened visibility and potential distribution deals, while the modest single nomination for the box‑office smash Buen Camino highlights a stark split between commercial success and awards recognition in Italian cinema.
