BIOGRAPHY OF ALFREDO BINI

Producer. In 1960 he founded the Arco Film film production house which inaugurated his activity with “Il bell’Antonio” by Mauro Bolognini, based on the novel of the same name by Vitaliano Brancati and interpreted by Marcello Mastroianni and Claudia Cardinale. It is a very dangerous project, so much so that many are trying to dissuade him from producing a work that deals with such a thorny subject as impotence. The film, on the other hand, turns out to be a great success and allows the young producer to focus on auteur cinema, making his debut under his aegis in 1961 with Pier Paolo Pasolini with “Accattone”. Subsequently, the religious themes addressed by the Friulian director in “La ricotta”, an episode of the collective film “Rogopag” (1963) and in “The Gospel according to Matthew” (1964) cause him problems with the censorship that Bini tackles with determination, repaid by Silver ribbon as the best producer that was delivered in 1967 for “Oedipus re”, again by Pasolini. During the sixties he married the actress Rosanna Schiaffino who in 1966 was next to Mel Ferrer in “El Greco”, a biography of the great Spanish painter directed by Luciano Salce. In 1968 he decided to produce “Satyricon” by Gian Luigi Polidoro. The film is accused of obscenities and withdrawn from circulation and the producer defends himself by publishing the pamphlet “Notes for those who have a civil, professional and political duty to defend Italian cinema”. Having reached the end of the artistic partnership with Pasolini, he decides to focus on films in their own way provocative, including those belonging to the erotic vein in vogue in the seventies, such as “The snake god” (1970) and “Oriental love code” ( 1974) both by Piero Vivarelli, while in the same year he took up an important challenge by producing “Lancelot and Geneva” by Robert Bresson. In the Eighties, after having worked with the great authors of Italian cinema, he left the production sector and from August 1994 to December 1995 he was extraordinary commissioner of the Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia. He died at the age of 84 at the Tarquinia hospital where he had been hospitalized for a few days.
