Biography
Emilio Ghione, a pioneering force in early Italian cinema, emerged into the world on July 30, 1879, in Turin, Piedmont, Italy. A consummate artist, he masterfully navigated both sides of the camera, leaving an indelible mark as an actor and director. His creative legacy includes such memorable works as the 1920 mystery 'Il castello di bronzo,' the gripping 1918 thriller 'I topi grigi,' and the iconic 1915 production 'Za-la-Mort,' a character so profoundly associated with him that it became his cinematic alter ego. Ghione's influential journey concluded in Rome, Lazio, Italy, where he passed away on January 7, 1930.
