Alejando G. Inarritu can add another trophy to his Birdman collection.
After its Oscar win last year, Birdman took home the top prize for best foreign film Friday.
The film beat out American Sniper, Mommy and The Salt of the Earth, and Boyhood for the David Di Donatello awards.
The pre-ceremony focused on Italy’s return to the global film stage.
Through an increase in foreign film productions and a stronger tax credit, Hollywood has already made a move back to the eternal city.
The award ceremony is Italy’s version of the Academy Awards.
