Carmine Gallone (10 September 1885 – 11 March 1973) was an early Italian film director, screenwriter, and film producer, who was also controversial for his works of pro-Fascist propaganda and historical revisionism. Considered one of Italian cinema's leading early directors, he directed over 120 films in his fifty-year career between 1913 and 1963. Due to his predilection for historical epics he has been compared to Cecil B. DeMille.
Carmine Gallone was born as Carmelo Camillo Gallone on 10 September 1885 in Taggia (in the province of Imperia), but grew up in Naples. His father, Pasquale Gallone, was Italian, from Sorrento, and his mother, Rosa Langery, was French, from Nice. He began writing plays at the age of 15 and, in 1911, he travelled to Rome to participate in the National Drama Competition organised to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the Unification of Italy. Although the play he submitted, Il Britannico, did not win, it received an honourable mention from the examining committee.
