Life

Giorgio Capitani began his career in 1946 as an assistant director, among others with Vittorio Cottafavi . His first film, You Must Forget Me , was shot in 1953. After a handful of melodramas that met with mild interest, he devoted himself to dubbing and worked as the director of the second staff in larger productions; He experienced a second career start in 1964, when he specialized in comedies , which he turned as television productions since the late 1980s. Again and again he scattered “serious” films in between; The stories about Commissario Rocca were particularly successful .

Towards the end of the 20th century he shifted to more serious, often biographical material.
