Influential Italian auteur Francesco “Citto” Maselli who worked with Lucia Bosé, Claudia Cardinale, Shelley Winters and Valeria Golino on films that combined his political passion with his bent for female-centered dramas, has died in Rome.The director’s death was announced to Italian news agency ANSA by Maurizio Acerbo, leader of Italy’s small Communist Refoundation Party, the group of die-hard Italian leftists that Maselli championed, and confirmed by the director’s wife.
After graduating from Rome’s Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia and working as an assistant to Michelangelo Antonioni, Maselli made his feature film debut with World War II drama “Gli Sbandati” , featuring Lucia Bosé, which premiered at the Venice Film Festival in 1955. In 1964 he directed “Gli Indifferenti” , adapted from Alberto Moravia’s eponymous novel about members of an upper-crust Rome family reacting to a financial crisis that is undermining their social status and starring Paulette Godard, Claudia Cardinale, Rod Steiger and Shelley Winters.
In the 1980s and early 1990s, Maselli shifted to more intimate films, mainly portraits of women, including “A Tale of Love” , starring Valeria Golino, which won the Venice Film Festival’s Gran Jury prize, and “The Secret” , which went to Berlin, and “Dawn” both toplining Nastasja Kinski.
