ABSTRACT
The main conversation with Roberto took place over three days in June 2001. His career started through serendipity with Orson Welles, he matured as an editor with Bernardo Bertolucci, and he has cut for the Taviani Brothers for many years. We talked in his apartment in Rome where he lives with his wife Annalisa and their twin daughters. For many years he has been Professor of Editing at Centro Sperimentale. Recently we have exchanged notes and revised and updated the text to incorporate Roberto’s experiences and thoughts since that time.
