The friendship between Bacigalupo and Ezra Pound led Massimo to participate in the filming of a documentary promoted by the Bayerischer Rundfunk and centred on the poet's life. In the autumn of 1967, during the filming that took place in Venice and Torcello, the director invited Bacigalupo to the set as a literary consultant. For the occasion, Bacigalupo shot a series of behind-the-scenes images of the film.
