Oscar-winning Italian director
Gabriele Salvatores is in isolation due to COVID-19 and won't
be able to attend the premiere of his latest work Fuori Era
Primavera (It Was Spring Outside) at the Rome Film Festival,
sources said Wednesday.
The Naples-born filmmaker, 70, is asymptomatic and is feeling
well, they said.
Salvatores won the best foreign film Oscar for Mediterraneo in
1991.
His other films include Puerto Escondido (1992), Sud (1993),
Nirvana (1997), Denti (Teeth, 2000), Amnèsia (2002), I'm Not
Scared (2003), Quo Vadis, Baby? (2005), and As God Commands
(2008).
I'm Not Scared and As God Commands were adaptations of Niccolò
Ammaniti novels.
Salvatores was born in Naples in 1950 but moved to Milan with
his family when he was six.
He started making films in 1989 after a successful career as a
theater director.
