In his youth, after military service Visconti studied music and the breeding of horses, that is typical for people who conducted his circle of life, confessing at the same communist ideology - probably just out of hatred for fascism. In the 30 years he worked with Jean Renoir on the "outing" as a production designer and assistant director. Returning from France, Visconti joined the resistance movement, was arrested by the Gestapo, was sitting on death row, and narrowly escaped execution.
