Rosati revisited J.L. Moreno's groundbreaking psychodrama experiment, Psychodrame (1956), which was filmed by Roberto Rossellini. In 1991, he created two series of Da Storia nasce Storia Da Storia nasce Storia (the first television program in history based on real psychodramas from the audience) for Rai 3 and Torino Opera House. This program, which featured actors and live music, was celebrated by La Stampa as “the theatrical-television success of the year.” Harold Brodkey, a writer hailed by Time as “the American Proust,” described it as a miracle achievable only by the Italian soul. In addition to his clinical practice, Rosati is also recognized for his work as a director and writer. He has directed numerous documentaries and films that delve into psychological and social themes, often utilizing psychodrama to expose the underlying dynamics of his subjects.
