Alessandro Melazzini
Still: Italo Disco. The Sparkling Sound of the 80sAlessandro MELAZZINI (1974, Italy) is an Italian-German documentary filmmaker. He graduated in Political Economics in Milan, and in Philosophy at Heidelberg University.
After working as an author, journalist and freelance translator, he self-produced his first documentary in 2010 and founded his own production company, Alpenway Media GmbH. He collaborates with RAI, ARD, ZDF and ARTE as a director and/or producer. His films are characterised by their extreme eclecticism, ranging from Ilona Staller’s life story and deeds (La Cicciolina. Godmother of Scandal, 2016) to the description of Cistercian art and spirituality (The Legacy of the Cistercians – Italy, 2019). Documentaries produced by Alpenway are regularly selected by international festivals.
