Biography
film director
Peter Del Monte
Peter Del Monte was born in San Francisco in 1943, and his movie L'altra donna made him one of the first Italian directors to make a move which dealt with immigrants from outside the European Community. His curiosity of the fantastical and poetic world of childhood brought about a linguistic experiment using the technical potential of high definition filming (Giulia e Giulia). His stylistic research is aimed at a truly minimalist narrative description of events occurring to his characters.
