IN ACCADEMIA TALK | ALBERTO MORETTI

In our Roman campus, students had the incredible opportunity to participate in a new appointment of “In Accademia Talks” This time, the protagonist was Alberto Moretti, alumnus of the ACM and a renowned costume designer. Accompanied by his talented assistants Francesca Delmirani and Sonia Grandi, also ACM alumnae, Moretti shared the secrets and anecdotes behind the scenes of his career, with a particular focus on his latest cinematic work, “C’è ancora domani” by Paola Cortellesi.

Alberto Moretti, born in Rome in 1965, began his artistic journey at ACM after graduating from the classical high school. His career as a costume designer took off in 1989 with the theatrical production “Esercizi d’insulto” by Bruno Maccallini, and he went on to embrace a wide range of projects in theater, music video, television, and fashion. Over the years, he collaborated with some of the biggest names in the Italian film industry, receiving accolades such as the Nastro d’Argento in 2002 for Tinto Brass‘s film “Senso ’45.”

His career unfolded through multiple projects, including the series “Cefalonia” with Luca Zingaretti in 2004 and the film “Monamour” by Tinto Brass in 2005. In 2007, he took on the role of costume designer for Serena Dandini‘s television show “Parla con me” and later for the TV series “Tutti pazzi per amore” by Riccardo Milani.

The return to cinema in 2010 with the film “Nessuno mi può giudicare” by Massimiliano Bruno marked a new chapter in his career, followed by numerous other successes, including designing costumes for the film “Gli ultimi saranno gli ultimi” in 2015.

His work in the film “C’è ancora domani” by Paola Cortellesi was particularly appreciated by the students, who had the opportunity to discover the intricate and fascinating details of the creative process of an internationally acclaimed costume designer. The film received significant recognition at the 18th edition of the Rome Film Festival, including the Audience Award, the Special Jury Prize, and the Mention for Best First Work.
