Son of Sergio Castellitto, illustrious and reputed Italian actor, director and screenwriter and of the beloved writer Margaret Mazzantini, Pietro begins to excel in the cinematographic field and beyond. He is known through some films of his father, based on the stories written by his mother such as "Don't move", "The beauty of the donkey", and "Come into the world". He continues his working world with the role of Marco in "A star is born" and in Secco in "La profezia dell'armadillo".
His sympathy and his being a bit ridiculous immediately stands out, in fact he writes and directs his first film "The predators" where we notice his rather bizarre style, full of sarcasm but also of metaphors and political orientations masked by well-known peculiar subjects. built. In addition to choosing an atypical directorial style, he enhances the construction of a new comedy that certainly won't make everyone laugh. Pietro, detaches himself from the cinematographic genres of his family and creates his own with which he wins the Orizzonti award for best screenplay at the 77th Venice exhibition and the David di Donatello as best new director. Shortly after we see him under the role of Francesco Totti in the series "I was hoping I died first”And also becomes one of the protagonists of the famous Freaks Out.
Despite his young age, his career is shaping up and paying off with distinction but he surprises us once again by bringing his style to the world of writing. In 2021 his first book comes out, “Gli iperborei”, where he shows us the life of some highly-placed Roman boys and their chores. Peter uses philosophy as a means to understand some values that are embraced by metaphors and mythological stories. In short, this rookie director is bringing to light a new form and expression in cinema that no one had done until now. He certainly he was courageous in expressing himself but by doing so he has already created an imprint in history that must definitely be known for those who do not yet know him well.
