Damiano Damiani
Damiano Damiani is an Italian writer, screenwriter, actor and director. He ranks among the greatest directors of Italian cinema, who addressed the social problems of his time. He discovered cinema at an early age, but it was when he saw Frank Capra's New York-Miami at the age of 14 that he realized that behind the images was a message, a vision of the world, a philosophy. Damaniani began directing documentaries (a dozen between 1946 and 1956), and helped write several screenplays, including La Chronique des pauvres amants by Carlo Lizzani. He directed his first film at the age of 37, Jeux précoces, in 1959. Among others, he directed Franco Nero and Claudia Cardinale for his film about the Mafia: La Mafia fait la loi (1967), for which she won the David di Donatello award for Best Lead Actress.
