[3] At the age of 16, thanks to his drawing talent and his passion for film, Sciotti found a job as an artist at a graphics studio in Cinecittà, producing movie posters.

[6][7][8][9] He was best-known for his work on the posters of Sam Raimi's Army of Darkness, Fulci's The Beyond, Lynch's Blue Velvet and Argento's Phenomena.

[citation needed] His movie poster style "combined photographic superimposition and allusive, expressive, goliardic painting", helping to create a school of aesthetic design that was closely linked to 1980s Italian comedies.

[6] The Guardian described him as one of the three "undisputed masters" of VHS cover art, who was "as adept at producing oil landscapes as monsters and mercenaries".

[6] He died on the same day as Giannetto De Rossi, an Italian make-up artist who worked on several of the same Fulci films as Sciotti.
