• Descrição: An obituary for Italian cinematographer Giuseppe Rotunno is presented. Born in 1923, he entered the film industry while still in his teens. He started as a stills photographer, before working his way up the camera department ranks. Like other cinematographers of his generation, such as Henri Decae and Raoul Coutard, he served as a war photographer. After the war, he found himself having to start essentially from scratch in the film industry. Through the cinematographer G.R. Aldo, Rotunno got to know Luchino Visconti, who would entrust him with shooting some key sequences for his 1954 Technicolor period drama Senso. At the time, he was one of a handful of Italian cinematographers who had experience filming in cobur and he would also be one of the first to use CinemaScope (in Dino Risi's sun-soaked comedy Scandal in Sorrento, 1955).
