Nuzzi began in film as an assistant to Federico Fellini , whom he accompanied between 1954 and 1960, and shot an episode of the Cesare Zavattini film I misteri di Roma in 1962 . After the documentary Ecco il finimondo , which was challenged by the censors, another independent work followed ten years later, the Il piatto piange , based on Piero Chiara's novel , a portrait of the province of Piedmont at the time of fascism, which was awarded an Italian Golden Globe, and two years later Giovannino , which was written from a work by Ercole Patti . In addition, numerous television works were created under Nuzzi's direction ( Un mestiere come un altro , L'incidente , I giovedì della Signora Giulia , Piccolo bambino and many others) as well as reports.
