He died today, Thursday (29/2), in Rome and at the age of 92, the director Paolo Taviani who, together with his brother Vittorio, was one of the strongest names in Italian cinema.
In his long life, Paolo Taviani worked as a director, screenwriter, actor and writer. The Taviani brothers’ best-known works (Paolo died in 2018) include 1972’s San Michele Had a Rooster, Alozanfan, made two years later with Marcello Mastroianni, Laura Betti and Lea Massari, and the 1977 “Father Master”, which was awarded the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival.
In 2012 the Taviani brothers were awarded the Golden Bear of the Berlin Film Festival for their play “Caesar Must Die”, in which they played inmates of the prisons of Rome.
As the newspaper La Repubblica underlines, “the Taviani brothers worked in perfect harmony, so much so that it was impossible to distinguish the scenes shot by Paolo from those of Vittorio while they moved with complete ease in all types of cinema: inspired by current events , History (often with a metaphorical meaning) and literature”.
