Mario Bava

Mario Bava was born in San Remo in 1914, the son of Eugenio Bava, a silent-film cinematographer and special-effects specialist. A cinematographer from 1939, he completed two films in the late 1950s whose director had left the shoot, before directing his own first film in 1960. He then worked in horror, thriller, adventure and western. Long ignored in Italy, he influenced American filmmakers such as Tim Burton. He died in Rome in 1980.
