Life and career

Born in Milan, in the 1940s Carpi began his career as a film critic for the newspapers Libera Stampa and L'Unità.[1] In 1951 he moved to Brasil, where he started collaborating to some screenplays. Returned in Italy in 1954, until 1971 he was active as a screenwriter for notable directors such as Antonio Pietrangeli, Dino Risi and Vittorio De Seta.[1] In 1971 he won a Nastro d'Argento for the screenplay of Nelo Risi's Diary of a Schizophrenic Girl.[2] Starting from 1957 he was also a critically acclaimed novelist and essayist.[1] His novel Patchwork won the Bagutta Prize in 1998.[3]

After a 1968 documentary short, in 1972 Carpi made his feature film debut with the drama Corpo d'amore.[1] His films were referred to as "figuratively accurate, literary, often metaphorical and difficult to understand", "deep explorations of the human psyche".[1]

Selected filmography
gollark: ?tag create dft The DFT is the most important discrete transform, used to perform Fourier analysis in many practical applications.[1] In digital signal processing, the function is any quantity or signal that varies over time, such as the pressure of a sound wave, a radio signal, or daily temperature readings, sampled over a finite time interval (often defined by a window function[2]). In image processing, the samples can be the values of pixels along a row or column of a raster image. The DFT is also used to efficiently solve partial differential equations, and to perform other operations such as convolutions or multiplying large integers.
