Costanza Quatriglio was born in Palermo in 1973. After having graduated in Law at the University of Palermo in 1997, she attended the Centro Sperimentale per la Cinematografia in Rome. Between 1997 and 2000, she directed several social documentaries. Her first documentary ècosaimale?, shot among children in historical Palermo, won several awards (among these the Gran Premio della Giuria at the Festival of Turin 2000). Her second documentary, L’insonnia di Devi, on the theme of international adoptions, was coproduced by Tele+. Her first feature film L’isola, produced by Dream Film and RAI TV network, was shown at the Festival of Cannes 2003 and distributed in Italy, Belgium, Canada, and Latin America. Well received by the public and the critics, L’isola has participated in many international festivals in the United States and Europe, earning the Fipresci Award at the Festival of Bratislava, the Cicae Award in France, the award for best screenplay at the Festival of Cuenca, in Ecuador, the Cultural Grant from Asia-Europe Foundation at the Festival of Pusan in South Korea, and the Silver Ribbon for best music in 2004. In this fiction film Costanza Quatriglio tells the story of the two young protagonists, Teresa and Turi, living the challenges of a closed society like Favignana. The following year, her mini-series Raiz, which follows a family that migrated from Capo Verde to Italy, was broadcasted on RAI Tre.
