Generazioni d'amore: Le quattro Americhe di Fernanda Pivano (2001)

The first and controversial portrait of Fernanda Pivano (1917-2009), the writer who introduced Italy to four generations of American writers, from Lee Masters to Scott Fitzgerald, from Kerouac to Easton Ellis. Friends, singers and artists (from Bernardo Bertolucci to Luciano Benetton) read pages from Pivano's book of portraits "I miei quadrifogli" (My Quatrefoils). Ottavio Rosati directing small role- playings, underlines the contradiction between the Victorian education of Pivano and her love for counterculture and transgressive literature. Originally produced by Grazia Volpi (Ager3) in collaboration with Ottavio Rosati. In 2007 Plays srl has claimed all dominical rights for the exploitation of the work. The documentary, in the new version of 2020, reveals new aspects of the collaboration between Pivano and Rosati. Among these the project of "Il Teatro del Tempo", a modern version of the Psychodrama Theater that Jacob Levi Moreno created in New York in 1945.
