Life

Franciolini went to Paris in 1929 to develop himself further as a journalist and there came into contact with the artistic avant-garde of the time, including Eugène Deslaw . He became an assistant director to Georges Lacombe and made the documentary Vérité sur l'Italie . From 1938 he was back in his home country and, after assistant director a . a. for Mario Soldati and Camillo Mastrocinque , directed a feature film for the first time in 1940. His second film, Fari nella nebbia , staged immediately afterwards , is probably his best work. Influenced by poetic realism in France, Franciolini succeeded in bringing the Telefoni Bianchi closer to the realities of the people at the time of its creation.
