Born in the Romagnole town of Santarcangelo di Romagna in 1920, Antonio (Tonino) Guerra spent his long life of 92 years in joyful creativity that encompassed dialect poetry, prose fiction, civic initiatives, the pictorial arts, and screenwriting. The preeminent Italian screenwriter of the latter half of the twentieth century, Guerra collaborated with most of the distinguished Italian film directors of his time, including Antonioni, Fellini, Rosi, the Taviani brothers, Petri, De Sica, and Monicelli; he also worked with the Russian director Andrei Tarkovsky, and the Greek director Theo Angelopoulos.
