Biography

Ricceri began his career in the early 1960s, being an assistant to Piero Gherardi on the sets of Federico Fellini's 8½ and Juliet of the Spirits. He later became a loyal collaborator of Ettore Scola, working on many of his films, including Captain Fracassa's Journey, which earned him the Nastro d'Argento for Best Production Design, and Unfair Competition, for which he won the David di Donatello for Best Sets and Decorations.

Ricceri was also a very prolific production designer for television series: he built the sets of Giuliano Montaldo's Marco Polo entirely in studios. He was later hired on Inspector Montalbano, building the sets of 19 episodes between 1999 and 2017.

Ricceri died in Orte on 1 February 2020, at the age of 79.
