Early life and education Giovanna Cecchi was born on 21 July 1914 in Rome. She was immediately renamed Susanna by her father, and her parents’ Tuscan heritage soon nicknamed her “Suso”. Her father, Emilio Cecchi (1884–1966), was from Florence, known for his work as a literary critic and author, but also as a film producer and director, while her mother, Leonetta Pieraccini (1882–1977), originated from Siena and was a well-known painter and writer. Suso attended the French lycée in Rome and then proceeded to pursue higher education in Switzerland and Cambridge. Upon her return to Rome, she used her proficiency in languages to secure work with the Ministry of Foreign Trade. In 1932, her father returned from a two-year professorship in the United States. Having witnessed the work being done in the film industry abroad, he was made the new director of the Cines studios by the government. Here, D’Amico's exposure to the film industry began as she frequented the soundstages, familiarising herself with the processes, crews, writers, and actors.

Career With the war to come, d’Amico left the Ministry and became a translator of literary works, all the while being asked by her father's peers to read scripts in order to give her feedback.

Earning herself the nickname of the Grand Lady of Italian Cinema, d’Amico was a pioneer for women screenwriters and welcomed by her male counterparts thanks to the value of her input as a female perspective that was otherwise lacking in the writers’ room, she helped create and write for and about credible female characters. Moreover, she proliferated during the time that Italian neorealism was being created and gaining global interest; she developed a style of writing that combined her literary education and understanding of the people, and was distinct for its succinct dialogue. She kept actors’ lines short because, true to neorealist form, they were often amateurs with little experience, and so it was easier to keep their lines short.
