"Io Capitano" by Matteo Garrone takes home seven statuettes at the David di Donatello including the two most important: best film, direction, photography, editing, sound, producer and visual effects.

This is the verdict of the 69th edition of the award in the ceremony broadcast on Rai 1 from the Cinecittà studios hosted by Carlo Conti and Alessia Marcuzzi.

The film with the most nominations, "There's Still Tomorrow" by Paola Cortellesi, the story of the redemption of a woman, wife and mother, in Rome in the second half of the 1940s, wins six statuettes: the already acquired David of the spectator, the leading actress went to Cortellesi, supporting actress to Emanuela Fanelli, best original screenplay, best directorial debut and the David Giovani.

"Rapito" by Marco Bellocchio is good, which tells of an episode from 1858, when a young Jew from Bologna was kidnapped by papal soldiers because he had been secretly baptized by his wet nurse, who won the David for scenography, costumes, non-original screenplay, make-up and hairstyle.

Garrone, upon receiving the award, underlined the meaning of «a film born from the desire to listen and tell that part of the journey that no one ever sees», while the two protagonists, Seydou and Moussa, thanked the Italians and all those «who they save migrants at sea."
