Pino Passalacqua
Pino Passalacqua (actually Giuseppe Passalacqua ; born October 9, 1936 in Sant'Eufemia d'Aspromonte , † July 28, 2003 in Rome ) was an Italian film and television director.
Life
Passalacqua grew up in Genoa and from 1961 attended the Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia . After graduating, he gained his first experience as a director at a small theater in his adopted city and worked as an assistant director for five films until 1964. As an assistant to Pietro Germi , he was able to gain further experience, which he brought to the work he began in the middle of the decade for Italian television, for which he primarily supplied news and information broadcasts, but also increasingly filmed original material of a fictional nature. Among them was L'armata s'agapò, based on a subject by Renzo Renzi and Giorgio Aristarco, a notable early work. Occasional documentaries and a feature film, In tre verso l'avventura (from 1972) can also be found in Passalacqua's oeuvre , of which Il balordo, based on the novel by Piero Chiara , stands out in 1978 .
Passalacqua was married to the designer Elena Ricci Poccetto.
