Rome: Film director Ettore Scola, a leading figure in Italian cinema for more than three decades, died Tuesday at the age of 84, local media reported.
Scola`s work included "A Special Day," a 1977 Oscar-nominated movie featuring Marcello Mastroianni as a persecuted radio journalist and Sophia Loren as a sentimental housewife, meeting against a backdrop of rising fascism in 1930s Italy.
He also wrote and directed "We All Loved Each Other So Much," a 1974 comedy-drama about the post-war lives of three partisans fighting for the liberation of Italy.
