IO LA CONOSCEVO BENE

Antonio Pietrangeli

Antonio Pietrangeli (Rome, Italy, 1919- Gaeta, Latina, Italy, 1968) debuted as
a film critic in magazines like “Cinema,” “Bianco & Nero,” “Si gira” and “Star.”
He later helped write many screenplays, including Lost Youth by Pietro Germi
and No Greater Love by Roberto Rossellini. The first film he directed,
Empty Eyes (1953), already shows his interest in female psychology, an aspect
shared by many of his films, such as March’s Child (1957) and Adua and
Company (1960). In 1961 he directed Ghosts of Rome, the year later The
Visitor (with Ugo Tognazzi as main character) and in 1965 I Knew Her
Well, which won three Silver Ribbons in 1966. Two years later, Pietrangeli
drowned during the shooting of How, When and with Whom. The film was
released posthumously in 1969.
