I’ve written fifteen plays, two novels, one collection of short stories, several articles and poems, and two short films. “I have spent most of my life writing since I was fourteen. Onorato was born in Rome but grew up in Milan and started writing at a young age. Maybe they are right, but if it is sleazy pulp trash, it is sleazy pulp trash that has been well-written and well-acted, and is very entertaining.” “Whatever we do, we try to be different. “It has had all sorts of reviews, one star, two stars, three stars, four stars, five stars. “I wanted to do something a bit drastic that people would talk about,” continues Onorato.
