First Love

Directed by Dino Risi and co-written with Ruggero Maccari, this poignant 1978 dramedy stars Ugo Tognazzi as Picchio, an aging comic who seeks refuge in a home for retired artists. Refusing to fade away, he finds unexpected vitality thanks to the affection of a young maid, played by Ornella Muti. Blending humor and melancholy, the film remains a moving reflection on aging and dignity.
