Piavoli later directed Nostos: The Return in 1989, a film inspired by Ulysses' return to Ithica in the Odyssey, and contains only sparse dialogue that imitates "sounds of ancient Mediterranean languages". In 2009, Piavoli worked with Ermanno Olmi on Olmi's documentary about food production Terra Madre.
