Life
D'Alessandria graduated from the Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia in 1967 in directing; his thesis was the short film Il canto d'amore di Alfredo Profrok based on a poem by TS Eliot . Until 1971 he worked intensively as an assistant director on commercially oriented genre films. Then he turned his interest to television documentaries and political film, especially Cinema militante . In 1978, he experimented with new forms of documentation for the radio and brought two years later for the first time a film to the cinema, the on 16mm rotated Passaggi . In 1985 his hitherto most ambitious work L'imperatore di Roma was published based on his own book, in his own production, edited and staged himself. It took almost ten years until his next film L'amico immaginario with a very good Victor Cavallo in the lead role. In 2000, Regina Coeli was his last work for the big screen.
