oh god, thanks for posting that, it is good to know that he is working on something, he's an incredible director

He is currently said to be working on a biopic of 16th Century classical musician (and murderer) Carlo Gesualdo. It is also known that frequent Bertolucci collaborator Mark Peploe worked on the screenplay at some point. Its previous titles include Heaven and Hell and Love Song.

His other prospective project, an adaptation of the Ann Patchett novel Bel Canto, is said to be on the backburner.

He mentioned in a recent interview with The Guardian newspaper in connection with the re-release of The Conformist that it was persistent back problems which have prevented him thus far from following up 2003's The Dreamers.
