Fabio Carpi (born January 19, 1925 in Milan , † December 26, 2018 in Paris ) was an Italian screenwriter , film director and writer .
Life
Carpi fled to Switzerland during World War II , where he began as a film critic for Libera Stampa magazine , which he continued for L'Unità after his return to Italy . In 1951 he moved to Brazil , where he wrote his first screenplay and was later awarded a bronze lion at the Venice Film Festival . Back in Italy in 1954, he continued to make books for films until 1971 and worked with Antonio Pietrangeli , Dino Risi and Vittorio De Seta .
He mainly created literary works as a poet and narrator in the 1950s and 1960s, including the novels Dove sono i cannibali , La digestione artificiale and Il circo di Pechino . In 1968 he first appeared as a director with a short film when he filmed an encounter with Cesare Zavattini for television. At the beginning of the 1970s, he shot a number of interesting works for cinema and television that expanded normal viewing habits and - also through collaboration with Luigi Malerba - with their literary, metaphorical and difficult subject matter, provided insights into the human psyche.
