Restless entrepreneur, enigmatic and contradictory. War photojournalist. Secret service agent. Brilliant Emperor of porn. Riccardo Schicchi is the mind behind Moana Pozzi and Ilona Staller, above all, he is the man who revolutionized the sense of decency of Italians, continuously offending that article of the Penal Code, number 527 to be precise, so dear to hypocrites and bigots for whom, in the Seventies, pornography was piracy and productions had to remain underground: “The offense to decency”.

He loved to describe his life as an adventure full of risks during which he traversed various fields of society, also engaging in politics; first with the Radical Party, then with the famous ‘Love Party’. “And while the major film companies strive to tell the life and death of his creations, knowing well how everything prurient still sells, we are interested in narrating the unique journey of a photographer with many lights and many shadows,” the author explains. “In outlining the boundaries, the rises and falls, there is never a desire for approval, but only a horizon of freedom.”

Schicchi was Pornography for an entire national system, for its cinema, the home video market, the phone lines, and the seats of the Italian Parliament.
