Maurizio Zaccaro (born May 8, 1952, in Milan, Italy), is an Italian film director, cinematographer, film editor and screenwriter.
Maurizio Zaccaro was born in Milan. After ending his study at the Milan Film School (1977) he took on work in Ermanno Olmi Film Factory and at the same time developed several short movies. But with the debut of his movie Where the night begins – Dove comincia la notte (1990), a horror film, he received the David di Donatello Award for Best New Director and stepped into the business of film-making.
This first movie, entirely shot in United States, is also one of the few that he didn't write himself.
Softly these fields they sing their melody to me
Teaching with a heart that seems sincere
And I could use a thousand words but never could
compete
With the message that I know is written there
It's written everywhere
And the hand of the mercy maker
Painted it on the sky
And the hand of the mercy maker
Left enough tracks to find
I fumble with the thoughts I have to try and make some
sense
Of the useless drivel I've been letting fly
But I can't form the answers to the questions that I
fence
I cannot build the truth out of a lie but I don't have
to try
And the hand of the mercy maker
Painted it on the sky
And the hand of the mercy maker
Left enough tracks to find
Well, you can try religion, you can try another church
But you can't fake what isn't in your heart
What you don't see 'cause you been lookin' elsewhere on
your search
Is that love has been the answer from the start, from
the very start
And the hand of the mercy maker
Painted it on the sky
And the hand of the mercy maker
