Visconti made his feature film debut in 1962, with "A Milanese Story".
During his career he alternated great commercial successes such as "The Lady of Monza" and unexpected bombs such as "Il caso Pisciotta", as well as critical acclaims and failures.

His films were mainly independent and wholly or partly self-funded.
