DONOVAN, PELUSI and PIRANDELLO

I remember an interview, in 1991 I believe it was, in which "Mad at the Moon" was announced as an adaptation of one of Luigi Pirandello's short stories. The film starts with a beautiful inedit operatic Aria in Italian, setting the Pirandellian mood in a big way but Pirandello's name is not part of the credits. As a big Pirandello fan I was wondering, how come? Does anybody know?

In fact there is ashort Pirandello story titled Male di Luna (Moon sickness)that deals with the same "lunatic" circumstances

Just found an original script that reads "based on a short story by Luigi Pirandello"
