The catalogue files his writing under the subjects Italy, 20th century, Italian Authors, Fiction, Interviews, Biography, Criticism and interpretation, Motion pictures and Motion picture producers and directors, so his page in this atlas covers both his fiction and the critical and biographical writing that surrounds his film career.
