Biography

film director

Dino Risi

Dino Risi (Milan, Italy, 1916 - Rome, Italy, 2008), after receiving his degree in medicine, became involved in film. In 1946, he shot his first short, Barboni, about unemployment in Milan. He moved to Rome and worked with Mario Soldati and Alberto Lattuada until his debut in feature-length films, Vacation with a Gangster. It was just the first of a series of movies which stigmatized the Italy of the reconstruction, the boom and the crisis: from Poor, But Handsome to A Difficult Life, The Easy Life, Opiate ‘67, and all the way to In the Name of the Italian People, Scent of a Woman and The Bishop’s Bedroom. He received the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement in 2002 in Venice.
