Renato Castellani
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Renato Castellani (September 4, 1913 - December 28, 1985) is an Italian film director and writer. He was born in Finale Ligure, Liguria, but spent a few childhood years in Argentina when his father went there on an assignment for Eastman Kodak. He was later educated in Switzerland. He entered Italian cinema as a screenwriter during the late 1930s after studying architecture in Milan. Among the screenplays were Soldati and Camerinini. In 1941 he became a director noted for the elegance that imbued his early films. Following World War II, he became a director known for his up-beat neorealist films, such as Zazà, Under the Sun of Rome and Two Cents Worth of Hope. After 1954, he returned to the detachment of his earlier style, and he wrote and directed Romeo and Juliet. Soon afterwards his film career fizzled, and during the 1960s he began working in Italian television and writing/co-writing scripts, including Marriage Italian-Style.
