Francesco Sossai’s boozy feel-good dramedy The Last One for the Road (Le città di pianura) was the big winner at Italy’s David di Donatello Awards, sweeping the ceremony held at Rome’s Cinecittà studios on Wednesday night, taking home eight trophies including best film and best director.
The road movie, which premiered in Cannes’ Un Certain Regard section in 2025, stars Sergio Romano and Pierpaolo Capovilla as two fifty something men from Italy’s northern Veneto region who strike up an unlikely friendship with a shy student from Naples, played by Filippo Scotti.
