We all are very sad.
Italian film director Vittorio Taviani, who with his brother Paolo Taviani created masterpieces of the Italian cinema has died today at the age of 88.
The Taviani brothers are among Italy’s most well-known directors, with such acclaimed credits as Padre Padrone, La Notte di San Lorenzo, Kaos, Caesar Must Die and Wondrous Boccaccio.
It is a great loss for Italian cinema and culture.
To his family and his daughter, friend Giovanna Taviani , our deepest sympathy
We decided to republish this article that the great director generously wrote for our magazine. It is the celebration of an island that he loved so much, Salina.
Salina as seen through the eyes of renowned film director who for many years has shared a house on the gorgeous Sicilian island with his brother Paolo, inseparable companion in work and in life.
