Born in Rome on 20 April 1941. Before becoming a film editor he studied Child Psychology and developed a passion for painting. In 1962 there was the great encounter with Orson Welles, when he handled the editing of The Trial adapted from Franz Kafka's eponymous novel. Two years later he began a working relationship with Bernardo Bertolucci, editing some of his greatest films from Prima della rivoluzione to The Conformist and Last Tango in Paris. Even greater and long-lasting was the rapport with Paolo and Vittorio Taviani.
