\"Death<\/a>“I became the assistant to Citto Maselli in the 60s, and we were making screen-tests for a film being shot in the mythical producer Franco Cristaldi\u2019s studios, Vides. They were making a comedy \u2013 musical, Per amore… per magia<\/strong>, and the intended director was Duccio Tessari. He was a very elegant person, and would always wear a red flower in his eyelet (it was a carnation), and happy, with the ready wit of all Ligurians. I was much younger then, about 25 years old, and the encounter with Tessari, a celebrity, hit me a lot. When, some years later, he called me to write this film [La morte risale a iera sera<\/strong>] for him it was like realizing a dream.<\/p>\n

I wrote the film in 1970 and, while I was writing it, a tv series that I wrote, CORALBA, came out on Canale Uno and was a huge success. <\/span>I worked very well with Tessari, but what really sticks in my mind was the character of Duca Lamberti, a tormented man made thirsty for justice, ready to sacrifice his life and career in order to obtain some kind of justice. <\/span>We stayed faithful to Scerbanenco\u2019s book, the only real change being to the character of Livia Ussaro, who we changed into being a journalist. <\/span>When I recently saw the film on DVD, I found the change effective, because it allows a series of conversations and exchanges of dialogue with Duca to be much more intense and interesting.<\/p>\n

Luca Lamberti was played by Frank Wolff and, even if we weren\u2019t friends, I remember the encounter I had with him. <\/span>I thought that it would be good to meet the character, in the form of the actor who embodied him. <\/span>But his end was much more tragic than anything that was contained in my story.“<\/span><\/p>\n
