Life
Petrini began his work in film as an assistant director for Ferdinando Baldi in the mid-1950s. He was in such a position for almost ten years, but also worked in the theater and for occasional television engagements. In 1964 he made his debut as a director with Una storia di notte , a comedy in which he had to do with the rivalry between the stars Scilla Gabel and Sylva Koscina while filming ; in addition, he led Vittorio De Sica to a performance that qualified the film as a contribution to the Venice Film Festival . After another comedy, which has now disappeared, he turned to erotically oriented, still entertainingly presented topics. In the mid-1970s a tough crime film followed , the underrated drama Ring and the unusual White “Pop” Jesus . After a few scripts that again contained clear sex scenes, he withdrew from the industry in the early 1980s. Only one documentary from 1988, Aurora Express , was an exception.
