MARCELLO GATTI
CAMERA
Marcello Gatti (Rome, February 9, 1924 - Rome, November 26, 2013) was an Italian cinematographer.
He was one of Italy's most important cinematographers.
During his long career, he won five Nastri d'argento, photographed two Oscar-nominated films The Battle of Algiers by Gillo Pontecorvo and The Four Days of Naples by Nanni Loy, and another Palme d'Or at Cannes Chronicle of the Embers years; he worked among others with Roman Polanski, Carlo Lizzani, George Pan Cosmatos and Giancarlo Giannini, who chose him for his directorial debut with Ternosecco.
The film for which he is often remembered is The Battle of Algiers (1966), which won the Golden Lion at Venice and had three Oscar nominations, standing out precisely because of a memorable black-and-white, grainy, documentary photography inspired by the style of cinéma vérité [2] that Gatti had already begun to elaborate in Nanni Loy's Le quattro giornate di Napoli (1962), also nominated for an Oscar.
With Pontecorvo he also shot Queimada and Ogro.
