По образованию архитектор. Учился в Римском Экспериментальном киноцентре, был ассистентом французского режиссера И. Аллегре, Ж. Деланнуа, а также Л. Дзампы, под чьим влиянием ставит первые свои лирические комедии, вполне отвечавшие розовому 1950–х годов.

Плодом сотрудничества с П.П. Пазолини стала экранизация романа писателя «Лихие ребята» — фильм по нему «Бурная ночь» (1959) отличает зрелость режиссерского почерка и манеры. Последующие экранизации «Красавчик Антонио» (1960) по одноименному роману В. Бранкати, «Сумбурный день» (1960) по рассказам А. Моравиа подтвердили, что Болоньини тонкий интерпретатор литературных первоисточников.

Для ТВ снял экранизации «Пармской обители» (1982) и «Равнодушных» (1987). Соавтор сценариев многих своих фильмов.

Mauro Bolognini (June 28, 1922 - May 14, 2001) was an Italian film director of literate sensibility, known for masterful handling of period subject matter.


Mauro Bolognini was born in Pistoia, Tuscany.

A former architectural student, Bolognini began his film career as an assistant to director Luigi Zampa in Italy, and directors Yves Allegret and Jean Delannoy in France. He began directing his own feature films in the mid 1950s, and had his first international success with Gli innamorati ("Wild Love").

His other notable films of the 1950s and early 1960s include Giovani mariti ("Young Husbands"), La notte brava, La giornata balorda ("From a Roman Balcony"), and the Marcello Mastroianni-Claudia Cardinale starrer Il bell'Antonio (arguably his masterpiece), all written by Pier Paolo Pasolini.

Parting professionally with Pasolini in 1961, Bolognini went on to direct two sensual love stories starring Cardinale, La Viaccia and Senilità, before turning his talents to a series of international anthology films, including Le bambole (The Dolls), I tre volti ("Three Faces of a Woman"), Le fate ("The Queens") and Le streghe (The Witches).

Returning to features in the late 1960s with Mademoiselle De Maupin, his later works included the accomplished period dramas Metello and Bubu (both featuring Massimo Ranieri), Fatti di gente per bene (La Grande Bourgeoise) starring Giancarlo Giannini, Catherine Deneuve and Fernando Rey, L'eredità Ferramonti (The Inheritance) with Anthony Quinn and Dominique Sanda, and La Dame aux camélias featuring a young Isabelle Huppert.

In his later years, Bolognini continued directing feature films, as well as opera and the television miniseries The Charterhouse of Parma and The Time Of Indifference. His final feature was the soft-core erotic drama Husbands and Lovers, released in 1992.

He died in Rome in 2001.
