In 2020 the David di Donatello awards will celebrate their 65th anniversary. The first ceremony took place in 1956 at the Cinema Fiamma in Rome. For the first time a gold miniature of the David di Donatello, made exclusively by BVLGARI, was awarded to filmmakers such as Walt Disney, and actors Gina Lollobrigida and Vittorio De Sica. The David Di Donatello awards for the best international and Italian achievements in cinema were created in the post-war years when there was an urgent need to rebuild cultural and economic relationships between Italy and other countries especially between Italy and the USA.
