Italian film director and screenwriter Franco Indovina was born in 1932 and left an indelible mark on the world of cinema before his untimely passing on May 4, 1972.
Indovina's journey in the film industry began in 1959 when he served as an assistant to the renowned director Michelangelo Antonioni on the set of the iconic film L'Avventura.
Between 1965 and 1971, Indovina directed six films that showcased his unique vision and skill as a filmmaker.
Tragically, Indovina's life was cut short when Alitalia Flight 112 crashed on approach to Palermo, resulting in his untimely demise.
Despite his passing, Indovina's legacy lives on, and his 1967 film Lo scatenato was featured as part of a retrospective on Italian comedy at the 67th Venice International Film Festival.
Indovina's personal life was also marked by the presence of his daughter, Lorenza Indovina, who was born in 1966.
