  • Trivia
    Was influenced by the work of Roberto Rosselini.
  • Quotes
    The sensation is that these choices of mine are not only mine but that others have them too, I really don't feel exclusive...My ambition instead, perhaps because of my peasant-worker background, is to look at the world with others, not as an aristocratic intellectual.
