“With my daughters we learned how the Accademia del David di Donatello has already forgotten Carlo Vanzina, my husband, her father. Giving an award to his brother Enrico and no recognition to Carlo was a gesture of ingratitude to a director who has made well over 60 films. A great gentleman of Italian cinema according to all those who have worked on him in more than 40 years of a distinguished career.” This is the bitter comment of Lisa Melidoni Vanzina Accusation by the David jury of “marginalizing” Carlo Vanzina by “lowering his memory”.
Carlo Vanzinacontinues his wife Lisa Melidoni, “was a master, a humble man, not from modesty but from innate elegance; always on tiptoe, never evasive or arrogant, or with a desire for protagonism, on the contrary, by those who boast of inaccurate truths only to always be the center of undeserved attention”.
“Dear jury of the David, with the same superficiality that this award confers, you have marginalized a great protagonist, an author of Italian comedy, and degraded his memory, not even recognizing his infinite devotion to our cinema postmortem have . After all, we know that whoever was so loved in life becomes forgotten in death with the indifferent,” concludes the widow in her indictment.
