ROME: Italian filmmaker and Cannes Film Festival winner Vittorio Taviani has died aged 88, according to media reports on Sunday citing family sources. Taviani and his brother Paolo formed one of cinema’s greatest directorial duos and made politically engaged films together for over half a century. One of their best-known was the gritty biopic "Padre Padrone", set in Sardinia, which won the top Palme d’Or prize at Cannes in 1977. Born in San Miniato, Tuscany, on September 20, 1929, Taviani died in Rome after suffering from a long-term illness.
