Later in the night Martin collected the Museum of Cinema’s prestigious Stella della Mole award.
He was honoured by the Italian National Cinema Museum for his contribution to the growth of cinema.
Martin said the award was particularly dear to him due to his love of Italian cinema.
He said: ‘From the time I sat with my grandparents and my parents, over 70 years ago, and watched Rossellini’s Paisà on television, Italian cinema has held a very special place in my heart, a presence that has guided me, sustained me, urged me on in my work as a filmmaker.
‘It’s so meaningful for me to be receiving this honor at this moment in my life, here in this beautiful museum in Torino dedicated to the history of one of the great loves of my life, Italian cinema.’
It comes after Martin revealed that he still feels like he has ‘more films to make’.

The director has played down any suggestion of retirement as he has no plans to stop anytime soon.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, he said at Turin Film Festival: ‘I’m not saying goodbye to cinema at all.
‘I still have more films to make, and I hope God gives me the strength to make them.’
His comments follow reports that his planned films about Jesus and Frank Sinatra have been postponed.
The legendary filmmaker has had to put two films on hold after planning to shoot them back-to-back this year.
The Life of Jesus had been expected to go into production first and an insider has emphasised to Variety that the movie is still in development.

No cast members have been announced and Martin is said to be financing the project independently.
The film will only last 80 minutes and is centred on the principles of Jesus’ core teachings.
He said: ‘Right now, ‘religion’, you say that word and everyone is up in arms because it’s failed in some ways.
‘But that doesn’t mean necessarily that the initial impulse was wrong.
‘Let’s get back. Let’s just think about it. You may reject it. But it might make a difference in how you live your life – even in rejecting it. Don’t dismiss it offhand. That’s all I’m talking about.’
