Biography
Venice, 1914: while Europe braced for war, the city’s canals mirrored the flicker of a single film crew. At the centre stood Signor Cenni, a name now inseparable from the baker-boy tragedy Il fornaretto di Venezia. Between gondola-sway and lantern-light, he gave life to the story’s heartbeat, then vanished into the city’s mist—his imprint on cinema fixed forever at the moment the first print rolled out of a Venetian lab.
