Ferruccio Cerio
Ferruccio Cerio (actually Francesco Cerio , born September 26, 1901 in Savona , † April 29, 1963 ibid) was an Italian film director and screenwriter .
Life
Cerio graduated in medicine and surgery, but did not take up the profession his family had intended for him, instead devoting himself to theater dramaturgy, radio and film events. In collaboration with Alessandro Di Stefani, a number of dramas (including Consiglio di guerra ) and comedies (e.g. Sinfonia di ognuno or Frate mare ) that were broadcast on the radio were created. Since 1935 he worked on some screenplays of less interest for the screen and made his debut in 1941 as a director with Il cavaliere senza nome . In 1944 he joined the Cinema of the Republic of Salò , for which he made two films.
His work after the Second World War was characterized by pure routine. El alarido (based on his radio drama L'urlo ), filmed in 1947 , was made in Spain because he could not get a job in Italy at first. Since 1955 he also worked for the television that had recently been founded.
