A script of the Televsion Italian Rai inspired by
Il triplo psicodramma di Aldo Carotenuto (1994) episode of
Da Storia Nasce Storia (1991) by
Ottavio Rosati about the Aldo Carotenuto's best seller "Diario di una segreta simmetria" (1980). The book revealed the secret and dramatic story of the young Sabine Spielrein between Jung and Freud and the italian movie was to be directed by
Nelo Risi, author of
Diario di una schizofrenica (1968).
Ottavio Rosati who was the historical consultant and the author of the dialogues of the film, invited
Tania Di Martino to realize this difficult screenplay. After many versions and the translation of the script in English, in 1998 Risi was making the casting but the production was stopped by the new Rai President who considered this story too difficult for a TV audience. Some years later, Roberto Faenza and David Cronenberg made two popular films from Carotenuto's book. The screenplay for Rai Cinema, which emphasizes Jung's para psychological researches, should be turned into a movie.
