Life and career
Born in Tavarnelle Val di Pesa, Chiti started his career in 1970 with Pier'Alli's Society for Theatre Research.[1] He later founded Teatro in piazza ('Theater in the Square'), a stage company focused in folk and dialect theatre, and collaborated with Affratellamento Theater in Florence.[1] In 1983, he founded the Arkhè theater and began a long collaboration with the Arca Azzurra stage company, of which he became the main dramatist.[1] In theater, he is best known for the trilogy of dramas La terra e la memoria ('The land and the memory', 1987-1993), a portrait of 50 years of Italian history, of which he adapted the first chapter Allegretto into the film Albergo Roma in 1996.[1]
After serving as costume and production designer in a few films, Chiti started his career as a screenwriter with Willy Signori e vengo da lontano by Francesco Nuti.[2][3] In the following years, he became a close collaborator of Nuti, Alessandro Benvenuti and Giovanni Veronesi.[2] Starting from 2003, he is a regular collaborator of Matteo Garrone.[3]
During his career Chiti won numerous awards, notably six David di Donatello, two Silver Ribbons, a Globo d'oro and an European Film Award for Best Screenwriter.[3][4][5]
