Giovanni Pastrone, also known by his artistic namePiero Fosco (13 September 1883 – 27 June 1959), was an Italian film pioneer,director,screenwriter,actor andtechnician.[1]
Martin Scorsese believes that Pastrone's work in Cabiria can be considered as the invention of the epic movie and he deserves credit for many of the innovations often attributed toD.W. Griffith andCecil B. DeMille.[4] Among those was the extensive use of a moving camera, thus freeing the feature-length narrative film from "static gaze".[5][6]
