Fabio Carpi (19 January 1925 – 26 December 2018)[1] was an Italian director, screenwriter, and author.

Life and career

Born in Milan in the 1940s, Carpi began his career as a film critic for the newspapers Libera Stampa and L'Unità.[2] He moved to Brazil in 1951 where he started collaborating on some screenplays. He returned to Italy in 1954, and until 1971, he was active as a screenwriter for notable directors such as Antonio Pietrangeli, Dino Risi, and Vittorio De Seta.[2] He won a Nastro d'Argento for the screenplay of Nelo Risi's Diary of a Schizophrenic Girl [3]in 1971. From 1957 he was also a critically acclaimed novelist and essayist.[2] His novel, Patchwork, won the Bagutta Prize in 1998.[4]

After a 1968 documentary short, in 1972 Carpi made his feature film debut with the drama Corpo d'amore.[2] His films were referred to as "figuratively accurate, literary, often metaphorical and difficult to understand", and "deep explorations of the human psyche".[2]
