The photography was by Maurizio Calvesi and the music by Franco Micalizzi. I then continued with ‘Chimeres Absentes’ by Fanny Ardant, ‘Pensiero Giallo’ and ‘Idea Malvagia’ by Pierfrancesco Campanella, and I also did the director of photography in the film ‘Tundra’ by Federico Mattioni. And of my grandfather I always admired all his productions, of course”.
