Rome – The Italian cinema industry was in mourning Thursday after the death of 57-year-old Carlo Mazzacurati, the director whose films screened in competition in Locarno, Rome and Venice and whose 1994 comedy about two friends who try to steal and sell a bull, Il Toro, won Venice’s prestigious Silver Lion for best director. Mazzacurati died late Wednesday in his birth city of Padua, near Venice, following a long illness. Details were not made available. He directed nearly 20 films, but no feature films since another comedy, 2010's The Passion (La passione), which also screened in competition in Venice.
