"Vittorio De Sica" was an Italy/Italian Film director/director and actor, a leading figure in the Italian neorealism/neorealist movement.
Four of the films he directed won Academy Awards: Shoeshine (film)/SciusciĆ and Bicycle Thieves were awarded honorary Oscars, while Ieri, oggi, domani and The Garden of the Finzi-Continis (film)/Il giardino dei Finzi Contini won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film/Best Foreign Language Film Oscar. Indeed, the great critical success of Shoeshine (film)/SciusciĆ (the first foreign film to be so recognized by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences) and Bicycle Thieves helped establish the permanent Best Foreign Film Oscar. These two films generally are considered part of the canon of classic cinema. Bicycle Thieves was cited by Turner Classic Movies as one of the 15 most influential films in cinema history.
De Sica was also nominated for the 1957 Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor/Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for playing Major Rinaldi in American director Charles Vidor's 1957 adaptation of Ernest Hemingway's A Farewell to Arms (1957 film)/A Farewell to Arms, a movie that was panned by critics and proved a box office flop. De Sica's acting was considered the highlight of the film.
