Nastro d'Argento for Best Director
Until 2016 the award was literally called Director of the Best Film (regista del miglior film) and was given to directors responsible for films deemed best achievements of the year, so it effectively functioned as an accolade awarding best films. In 2017 the system was reformed and the category was split into separate Best Director (miglior regista) and Best Film (miglior film) awards.

Before the reform, the award was given ex-aequo to films/directors who shared wins four times, in 1946, 1948, 1963, and 1984. After the reform, the 2022 Best Director award, won by Mario Martone, was credited to two of his films released over the preceding year.
