Trivia
He was a guy from the suburbs of Rome. He was first contacted by Pier Paolo Pasolini as a trainer for the dialogues in Roman dialect for "Ragazzi di vita". Afet that, was born a close friendship between the director and Citti who became co-writer of his movies. Citti became a director too with some successful movies, but in the last years of his life, he spent his time ill and alone. And poor, trying to survive with the "Bacchelli Law", which helps the artists in a bad economical situation.
