De Concini was Vittorio De Sica's assistant at a young age and began his fruitful career as a screenwriter in 1947. His numerous works span the entire spectrum of the Italian film industry; There are many classics among the nearly 170 films he has worked on. For Divorce in Italian , directed by Pietro Germi in 1961 , Concini received the 1963 Oscar for Best Original Screenplay .
