Gabriele Salvatores' film Mediterraneo won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Film.
With Lamerica, directed by Gianni Amelio, he received the Best Film Award at European Film Awards in 1994.
Il Postino: The Postman (1995, directed by Michael Radford) was the first Italian film to receive an Academy Award nomination for Best Film.
