Italy - Rome recently played host to The David di Donatello Awards, presented annually for cinematic production and performances. The Taviani brothers led the night and took home awards including Best Picture, Producer and Director for their film Caesar Must Die, which also received a Golden Bear at this year's Berlin International Film Festival.
Not only are the David de Donatello Awards a prestigious night for the film industry: the ceremony is a glamorous must-attend event for celebrities as well. Several national and international stars - including singer Cesare Cremonini, director and screenwriter Paolo Sorrentio, and actress Zhao Tao - walked the red carpet at this year's awards, held on 4 May at the Auditorium Conciliazione in Rome.
Sound professionals Audiovisioni handled the entire audio installation for the award ceremony. Audiovisioni had already worked with the new D.A.S. Audio systems at their installation for the major Italian theatre production of the La Cage aux Folles and Il Vizietto musical, written by Max Romeo Piparo, with a cast led by Massimo Ghini and Cesare Bocci.
For the David di Donatello Awards at the Auditorium the Audiovisioni team opted for a range of D.A.S. Line Array systems for sound reinforcement, specifically 16 Aero 12A powered two-way line array speakers reinforced with four LX218-CA powered subwoofers systems.
