Biography

Marino Giorlami was born on 1 February 1914 in Rome, Italy.[1][2] Formally a professional boxer, Girolami ended his boxing career when he was 20.[3] Following this, he got a degree as a physical therapist and opened a gym which specialized in therapeutic massages.[3] Girolami entered into Italy Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia.[1] Among the people Girolami met was Anna Magnani who took her son Luca to meet him which led to close relationship between them.[3] Girolami gave her the script he had been working on of Campo de'fiori which was passed on to Aldo Fabrizi.[3] The story was re-written by Girolami and Federico Fellini and directed by Mario Bonnard, which led to Girolami working in film.[3] He debuted as an actor in 1940, and became an assistant director for Mario Soldati, Marcello Marchesi, Vittorio Metz.[1][4] In 1949 he debuted as a director with La strada buia, a variation on the film Fugitive Lady.[4] He pursued his career as film director with several musical comedies and melodramas.[4]

Film historian and critic Roberto Curti described Girolami as one of Italy's most prolific genre directors, directing 78 films in three decades.[1] Girolami worked in several genres and trends such as the Western with Between God, the Devil and a Winchester, the crime film (Violent Rome) and horror with Zombie Holocaust.[1][4] Girolami also made hardcore pornography such as Sesso profondo.[4] He died on 20 February 1994 in Rome.[1][2]
