Tonino Guerra was born in 1920 in Santarcangelo di Romagna, near Rimini, in Romagna, and was one of the most renowned Italian—or rather, European—screenwriters of the 20th century. Suffice it to cite some of the more than eighty films —Amarcord, And the ship goes, Ginger and Fred or Christ stopped at Eboli—, in which he collaborated with directors such as Fellini, Tarkovski, Antonioni or Vittorio de Sica. After passing through a Nazi concentration camp, working for more than thirty years in the cinema in Rome and getting married in Russia, he returned to his homeland and settled in Pennabilli, where he cultivated poetry in its most varied forms until his death in 2012. .
