Luigi Rovere (born June 30, 1908 in Acqui Terme , † October 20, 1996 in Rome ) was an Italian film producer .
Life
Rovere moved to Turin at a young age, where he found his calling in the joinery and was successful as an entrepreneur in the wood industry in Turin , where he had employed 100 people in his carpentry in 1938. His work in the film business began with an order for film construction in Turin recording studios; soon he worked as a manager at Hans Hinrichs Il vetturale del San Gottardo , before leaving for the technical buildings by viene dal cielo La fortuna held responsible. During the brief period of the Republic of Salò , he was the producer of Carlo Borghesio's Il processo delle zitelle and co-director alongside Luigi Giacosi for the Turin comedy Scadenza tranta giorni . After the turmoil of the Second World War , Rovere became one of the leading and most active producers in reunified Italy, initially in cooperation with Dino De Laurentiis in the joint company "Rdl"; initially for all works of his companion Borghesio, then - after export difficulties for the works created in northern Italy - in Rome with foundations such as "Lux Film", "Rovere Film", "Imperial" and "Goriz" also for the neorealistic works by directors such as Pietro Germi and Roberto Rossellini . Federico Fellini's debut film also found funding in him. In the 1960s, until his retirement in 1976, Rovere turned to significantly more commercial projects; with his companies "Cineluxor" and "Regal Film" he also financed the films of the film director Tanio Boccia .
