Ugo Pirro

Ugo Pirro ( born April 24, 1920 in Salerno, † 18 January 2008 in Rome ) was an Italian screenwriter and writer.

Pirro wrote his first screenplay in 1951 to Carlo Lizzanis Attention, banditi! . Throughout his career, he worked on over 50 films; several of them have received awards.

His greatest successes were two Oscars - in 1970 for investigation of a citizen above suspicion (directed by Elio Petri ) and in 1972 for The Garden of the Finzi Contini (directed by Vittorio De Sica ), respectively, for the best foreign language film.

Since about 1980, Pirro turned increasingly to literary works.
