CIAO DINO...

2008.06.08



Dino Risi died 40 minutes ago at the age of 92.
He was one of the greatest Italian film director.
With Mario Monicelli, Luigi Comencini, Nanni Loy and Ettore Scola, he is one of the masters of Commedia all'italiana. Risi became a respected director following the success of the film Pane, amore e... (1955), a sequel of blockbusters Pane, amore e fantasia and Pane, amore e gelosia, both directed by Comencini.
His biggest hits were Poor, But Handsome (Poveri ma belli), followed by two sequels, which he also directed; A Difficult Life (Una vita difficile) a wonderful masterpiece as The Easy Life (Il sorpasso) and Scent Of A Woman (Profumo di Donna), which was remade starring Al Pacino in 1992.
In 2002, he was awarded the Golden Lion – Honorary Award (Leone d'oro alla carriera) at the Venice Film Festival for his life-time work.
I met him on 2001 while he was shooting in Ostia: he was a real gentleman, very nice and friendly, he gave me an interview and let me took the pictures above.
Rest in peace, Maestro...
