Martin Scorsese To Be Honored By Italy’s National Cinema Museum: “Italian Cinema Has Held A Very Special Place In My Heart”
Director welcomes honor: "Italian cinema has held a very special place in my heart, a presence that has guided me, sustained me."
“Few of the major figures of the New Hollywood era, if any, continue to dazzle audiences around the world as Martin Scorsese does more than 60 years after making his debut,” the museum said in a statement. “The Museo Nazionale del Cinema in Torino (Italy) pays tribute to the legendary Maestro who crafted some of the most memorable, celebrated movies in film history and became himself the embodiment of cinematic classics by illustrating with masterly technique the imagery of American society.” “From the time I sat with my grandparents and my parents, over 70 years ago, and watched Rossellini’s Paisà on television, Italian cinema has held a very special place in my heart, a presence that has guided me, sustained me, urged me on in my work as a filmmaker,” he said Martin Scorsese.
