Ennio De Concini, 1923 - 2008.

Ennio De Concini Just click on his entry in the IMDb. Pretty astonishing. But Italian screenwriter Ennio De Concini wasn't merely prolific; after all, he won an Oscar for his screenplay for Divorce Italian Style and wrote for the likes of Michelangelo Antonioni, Mario Bava, Raffaello Matarazzo, Duilio Coletti, Riccardo Freda, Clemente Fracassi and Mario Camerini.

Following a long bout with illness, Ennio De Concini died yesterday at the age of 84. La Stampa broke the news; here's the latest, in Italian, from Paolo Festuccia.
