Paolo Genovese
Born on 20 August 1966 in Rome. Studied economy and business. He started his career in a prestigious advertising agency, where he directed more than 100 commercials, some of them awarded with industry awards. Together with Luca Miniero, he created a director duo in 1998, with ambitions going further than the advertising world.

His next film ”Perfect Strangers” made him famous outside Italy.
