Eriprando Visconti

After a few experiences as an actor and an assistant film editor under Mario Serandrei, he wrote an early draft of the script and collaborated on the screenplay of Francesco Maselli's The Abandoned in 1955.

In the second half of the 1950s he started working as assistant director, notably collaborating with Michelangelo Antonioni and his uncle Luchino Visconti.

In 1959, he collaborated with Luigi Malerba to the libretto of the Franco Mannino's opera Hatikwa, and in the same period he started working in theatre as an assistant director.

During his career he alternated great commercial successes such as The Lady of Monza and unexpected bombs such as Il caso Pisciotta, as well as critical acclaims and failures.
