For my involvement in Matteo Garrone's Pinocchio as the overall VFX supervisor, I was awarded the David di Donatello for best VFX.  Pinocchio was nominated in a total of 15 categories and won 5 of them including Best Production Design, Prosthetics/Make-up and Costumes.

This award, of course, belongs to the entire VFX team that was devoted to this project throughout a very creative  pre-production, an erratic shoot and then a very intense post-production schedule. A very big thank you to VFX Producer Massimo Cipollina, character designer Pietro Scola di Mambro, the entire VFX team at One of Us and, of course, to the great Matteo Garrone for taking me along on this beautiful journey that was the making of this film.

The film eventually ended up being nominated for 2 Oscars (Best Achievement in Costume Design and Best Achievement in Makeup and Hairstayling) A clear testament to the film’s beauty and strong visual language.
