Life

Pittorru, along with colleagues like Massimo Felisatti and Florestano Vancini, was one of the engines of the cultural life of their native city after the Second World War. His first job as a documentary filmmaker was alongside his job as a journalist. From the mid-1960s he lived in Rome, where he - often in cooperation with his old friend Felisatti - presented scripts for numerous films from 1968, in particular crime films and Giallos , which were almost all popular with audiences. He was also a sought-after author on television; well-known works are Le terre del Sacramento , Il garofano rosso , Arabella and the seasons of the series Qui squadra mobile . In 1974 he directed his only own film, the erotic comedy Amore mio spogliati… che poi ti spiego! . After 1980 he hardly wrote for film or television.

In addition to his film work, he also presented the biographies of well-known people ( Torquato Tasso and Agrippina ) and novels.

In 1974 he and Felisatti received the Premio Gran Giallo Città di Cattolica for Violenza a Roma .
