The National Museum of Cinema in Turin pays tribute to legendary director Martin Scorsese, creator of some of the most memorable and celebrated films in the history of cinema, and embodiment of the all-time classics, recounting the imagery of American society with his masterful technique. Winner of every prestigious film award, Scorsese has often attributed Italian Neorealism as a significant influence on his work and, in 2006, signed the introduction to the volume Cabiria & Cabiria, published by the National Cinema Museum on the occasion of the restoration of Giovanni Pastrone's blockbuster: nearly two decades after this first collaboration, Scorsese was finally present in Turin at a gala evening in his honor held at the Temple Hall of the Mole Antonelliana, during which he was awarded the Stella della Mole Lifetime Achievement Award, the Italian cultural institution's highest honor, which over the years has been bestowed on major figures in world cinema, including frequent Scorsese collaborators such as Paul Schrader, Dante Ferretti and Francesca Lo Schiavo.
