Comencini, Luigi
▪ 2008

      Italian director and screenwriter

born June 8, 1916 , Salo, Lombardy, Italy

died April 6, 2007 , Rome, Italy
was often called the “children's director” because of his delicate treatment of children's issues, notably in the short documentary Bambini in città (1946), the neorealist melodrama Incompreso (1960), the television documentary series Bambini e noi (1970), and the classic TV miniseries Le avventure di Pinocchio (1972), a shortened version of which was later released to cinemas. Many of Comencini's commercially successful films balanced neorealistic elements with lighthearted humour, including such romantic comedies as Pane, amore e fantasia (1953) and its sequel Pane, amore e gelosia (1954), starring Vittorio De Sica and Gina Lollobrigida. Comencini was also a cofounder (1947) of the Italian film-preservation archive Cineteca Italiana. In 1987 the Venice Film Festival honoured him with a career achievement award.
