GIANNI AMELIO

The director from Hammamet began working for mamma rai, precisely to discover himself as a talented filmmaker (winner of numerous David di Donatello and Nastri D’Argento) as well as screenwriter of some of the films he shot himself. Precisely in 2014, at the age of seventy, Gianni had the guts, during an interview with Repubblica, to declare himself homosexual, doing it with pride and guaranteeing that he feels content and happy. When asked why he didn’t talk about coming out, the director stated that he didn’t like this term, because, according to him, it is a term that applies to thieves.
