Alessandro Baricco, a maestro of visual storytelling, was born in Turin, Italy in 1958 and began his active directorial career in the late 20th century. He is widely known for his work in drama, with a particular emphasis on adaptation of novels, most notably "Silk" and "Lecture 21," the former of which won him international acclaim.
