Reaching a wider audience has always been a priority for him. This dubbed version was completely supervised by Roberto Benigni, since When digging a bit further I found various articles clearly mentioning a dubbed version of the movie that the studio Miramax released (with mixed responses, though) after the subtitled version already ran in US cinemas (which would be in line with IMDb's release list). But the explicit mention of Horst Buchholz doing his own dubbing seems to suggest that this was not the case for all the other actors, though that is entirely specualtive deduction. Which again references an existing English dubbed version. Horst Buchholz did his own dubbing for the English and German dubbed versions.

Roberto Benigni's Oscar win for Best Actor was the second time a performance completely in Italian had been awarded. The dubbed version was also not the version considered for the Academy Awards that the movie won, since IMDb's trivia section says: So there seems to have been a dubbed English version, even if that was not the only version released in the US, seeing that the list also has entries for other releases (including non-festival releases that don't mention a dubbing): USA 6 August 1999 (limited) (dubbed version)

When looking at IMDb only, there are many hints that it was dubbed.įirst of all, the list of releases as also mentioned in santu47's answer lists an entry
