Acclaimed Italian director Francesco Rosi, best known for his films about corruption and organized crime, died Saturday at his home in this capital. He was 92. The winner of the Palme d'Or at the 1972 Cannes Film Festival for "The Mattei Affair" died in his sleep after a recent bout with bronchitis, local media reported.
Born in Naples, Rosi moved to Rome at age 22 to work in the theater and later became an assistant to filmmakers such as Michelangelo Antonioni and Luchino Visconti. He made his breakthrough as a director with the 1958 film "La sfida" (The Challenge), for which he won the prize for best debut work at the Venice Film Festival.
