Maria Basaglia
Maria Basaglia (born June 12, 1912 in Cremona , † March 5, 1998 in Santhià ) was an Italian screenwriter and film director . She was one of the few female directors of her time.
Life
Basaglia worked as a dubbing director in the 1930s and wrote the scripts for a number of films between 1939 and 1944, especially those of her husband Marcello Albani . Largely forgotten, they are examples of the film production of the short-lived republic of Salo . Both engagements for this meant that after the war, apart from two films in which she also occupied the director's chair, there were no more offers. Basaglia emigrated to Brazil with her husband in 1957. Together with him she founded the production company Paulistánia Films there , which they sold in 1964, and directed two films. In 1978 she lived in São Paulo ; twenty years later she died.
