Life and career


Born in Tavarnelle Val di Pesa, Chiti started his career in 1970 with Pier'Alli's Society for Theatre Research. He later founded Teatro in piazza ('Theater in the Square'), a stage company focused in folk and dialect theatre, and collaborated with Affratellamento Theater in Florence. In 1983, he founded the Arkhè theater and began a long collaboration with the Arca Azzurra stage company, of which he became the main dramatist. In theater, he is best known for the trilogy of dramas La terra e la memoria ('The land and the memory', 1987-1993), a portrait of 50 years of Italian history, of which he adapted the first chapter Allegretto into the film Albergo Roma in 1996.
After serving as costume and production designer in a few films, Chiti started his career as a screenwriter with Willy Signori e vengo da lontano by Francesco Nuti. In the following years, he became a close collaborator of Nuti, Alessandro Benvenuti and Giovanni Veronesi. Starting from 2003, he is a regular collaborator of Matteo Garrone.
During his career Chiti won numerous awards, notably six David di Donatello, two Silver Ribbons, a Globo d'oro and an European Film Award for Best Screenwriter.
