The David di Donatello Awards, named after Donatello's David, a symbolic statue of the Italian Renaissance,[1] are film awards given out each year by the Accademia del Cinema Italiano (the Academy of Italian Cinema).[2] There are 26 award categories, as of 2023. The industry-voted awards are considered the Italian equivalent of the American Academy Awards.[3]
