The Profile

Silvano Agosti is an Italian film director, screenwriter, editor, and author from Brescia, active since the 1960s.

Reviews note he is from Brescia and part of Italy’s political/protest cinema lineage. Il giardino delle Delizie (1967) faced censorship and was later reevaluated; Nel più alto dei cieli (1977) features a controversial Vatican elevator allegory with a Nicola Piovani score; D'amore si vive (1983/84) gathers candid interviews on love and pleasure in Parma.

Reviews portray Agosti as a provocative Italian director from Brescia. Nel più alto dei cieli draws mixed to negative reactions for its extreme allegory and group dynamics. Il giardino delle Delizie is praised for its bold attack on marriage and striking B&W imagery despite censorship. D'amore si vive earns high praise for its candid, moving interviews on love and pleasure in Parma. References to Pasolini, Buñuel, Petri, and a Nicola Piovani score frame his work within political art-house cinema.
