Television, though, offers a new opportunity: “I love the possibility that I could work on a character through seasons, to be part of how they evolve in time. “Movies are like micro worlds that I can dive into,” Piersanti explained in an email interview. Now they’re collaborating on a new coming-of-age project, their first for the small screen: We Are Who We Are, which premiered September 14 on HBO.
From A Bigger Splash to Call Me by Your Name to Suspiria, Guadagnino’s films and Piersanti’s eye for ensemble have transported viewers from Italy to Berlin and back again. For more than six years, costume designer Giulia Piersanti has helped to bring Luca Guadagnino’s characters to life.
