Great director Bernardo
Bertolucci, who died Monday aged 77, lay in State at the
Campidoglio in Rome on Tuesday.
Great cinematographer Vittorio Storaro, who worked on many of
Bertolucci's masterpieces, was among the first to pay his
respects.
Next to the open coffin, with wreaths from Rome Mayor
Virginia Raggi and Lazio Governor Nicola Zingaretti, friends and
family stood by.
"We are all poorer without him," said actress Stefania
Sandrelli.
Zingaretti told reporters that the regional government would
respond to requests from school heads and distribute
Bertolucci's politically tinged masterpiece '1900' in schools
across Lazio.
